Travel is more than the seeing of sight, it is the change that goes on deep and permanent in the ideas
of living.

-MIRIAM BEARD

Traveling for a long journey just to have fun and feel relax at the beach. I wonder why
people go this very far for leisure of relaxation. And it was true, the moment our service stopped, I
hardly remembered that I have not yet taken a rest and had barely slept well for almost 5-6 hours of
travel. I just can’t explain. I immediately got my swimming clothes and together with my friends, we
jumped in and swim in the blue water of Pagudpud beach. As we ran towards the beach I felt the
therapeutic effect of white soft sand under my feet, and it was so awesome. The beach was very wide
and the water is so clean and blue, and there are no tracks of garbage, and trash only the long white soft
sand from end to end, and the trees are very wonderful it makes it a real tropical atmosphere. It was a
really fun adventure, because there are no pollution and it is not a crowded place.

Saud Pagudpud Beach is one of the well-known beach resort in the Northern part of
Philippines. I love this beaches and this one never failed me. It was indeed an amazing and truly an
almost paradise experience.

Pagudpud is not only about the beach , this coastal town, formerly a part of its
neighbouring town of Bangui, greets its visitors with its panoramic sceneries and other natural
attractions. Stops in Patapat Viaduct, Trek to Kaibigan Falls, watching the picturesque sunset and
experience the hospitality of its people.

The jewel in the crown of Pagudpud is Saud Beach, with its renowned wonderful fine white sand. The
waters of the South China Sea are a magnificent blue and crystal clear all the time. This is bordered by
spectacular multi-coloured corals and iridescent fish. The beach is lined with over hanging coconut
palms, creating a scene from a dream. A popular venue for fashion photo shoots. The very best thing is
that there are not too many people on the beach.While people keep comparing it to White Beach on
Boracay Island, it simply is what Boracay once was, and everything Boracay is not. It is not
commercialized. The best of the beaches in the Philippines if not the world. It is also becoming the best
place for surfing in Ilocos and also surfing Philippines when the large Pacific swells roll in.

This pristine beach is a long curving 2 km of pure white sand. The reasons why it was chosen as Asia’s
best beach are its pristine condition, rustic appeal, and it’s relative isolation from the tourist crowds.
This really is one of the Philippines best kept tourism secrets. It is a beautiful place,

So go there before the big time developers move in! Beat the tour groups!

Isn't that what a vacation escape is all about?

There are different reasons why people travel:.

1.) Most People Travel because they want to see their families and friends who live far away. Invitations
from families and friends are seldom so you will decide to travel just to see them.

2.) People Travel because they want to see their soul mates. Some people believe that there is only one
person for them and if they haven't had much luck searching in their area, they figured it out that even
though there are millions of people around the world, they can still find it in other

place.

3.) People travel to seek for work because they want to experience how to work from another place. We
must admit that earning money is hard and some people decide to work abroad because they are
looking for greener pasture. Other place pays bigger rates than their own place. We may also say that
their expertise is not favorable in their own place. Unfortunately, they have to leave their families for
awhile for a job opportunities abroad.

4.) People travel because they want to learn others cultures. They want to see the difference between
their culture and other cultures. They want to learn others culture because for them traveling is fun
while learning. One particular thing about the culture is the food. Why Do People Travel? They want to
know how food is prepared and how it is done. Obviously, we all love to eat.

5.) People travel because they are writers. They want to give the readers relevant article to their readers
especially when they are making story in that particular place

6.) People travel because they want to see all beautiful scenery of different countries. Others would
want to take pictures because it serves as souvenirs.

7.) When opportunity arise, it is hard to decide whether to leave your family and open a business far
away your place. Some businessmen would rather put up business in other place because they want
gain and it is more profitable than staying in their place. Business is nothing

without profit. Traveling is not only for rich people. Whether you are poor or in the middle class, you can
travel as long as it fits your budget. Some travel for their goals, some travel for fun and relaxation and
some travel for experience.

Rizal, being on the border of Cagayan and Apayao provinces, has a cool climate similar to Baguio's. It
attracts excursionists and vacationists anytime, especially in summer.

Rizal is home to Cagayan's legendary figures – Biuag and Malana – who were said to have fought their
epic battle for supremacy over the hand of the beautiful "Maguinganay" by swapping volleys of
uprooted trees and live cattle. Their hangouts, two high mountains and a steep trail called "escolta"
from where they uprooted trees to hurl at one another, can still be seen in Malaueg (Rizal).

Local crops are corn, rice and tobacco. It is known before of its specie[clarification needed] as "Matalag",
which means men and women alike to go for its aroma and suaveness. Its bananas and mangoes have
become a good source of revenue.

Mines View Park, Baguio

“One of the best attractions in Baguio”

The geographical size of Baguio is very much larger than Vigan. The attractions in Vigan is quite focused
very much within walking distance from one another. Majority of Vigan's attractions are concentrated in
the close proximity of the Plaza Salcedo. Even the Bantay Bell Tower and the Saint Augustine Church
located near the highway are also just 10 mins walk from the Plaza Salcedo.

Baguio, on the other hand, has her attractions sporadically far apart complicated by the ups and downs
of the terrain. To the far East of the town are the Mines View Park, the Mansion, Botanical Garden and
the Wright Park. To the far West is the Church of Our Lord of Lourdes Grotto and the Diplomat Hotel. To
the far north are the Bell Church, Strawberry Farms and La Trinidad. To the far south are the Camp John
Hay, the Lion's Park and :Lion's Head and Kennon Road. The reachable attractions are those located at
the central area which included the Burnham Park, the Session Road, SM Baguio City, the Baguio
Cathedral and the city public market.
To explore Baguio, I really need to understand how the network of the jeepneys operates, the
embarkation point, the disembarkation point and which jeepney goes which way. Of course, you can
take the cab.

Burnham Park was the first attraction we visited in Baguio. From Burnham Park, we walked across the
main road to Carantes Street right in the heart of the city and boarded a jeepney all the way to Mines
View Park. There is a long queue of jeepney parked along this road with a label clearly stated `Mines
View Park'. It cost us 8 pesos for the single journey.

Mines View Park is one of the most impressive attractions in Baguio. Admission is free and it has one of
the most breathtaking panoramic valley view of Baguio that we had come across.

Standing on the pavilion facing the gorgeous view of the valley and feeling the cold air caressing my
face, the stunning scenery was so mesmerizing. There was a crowd of visitors and many were using
selfie to take their photos.

Mines View Park were so characterized by soothing cold weather, mountainous terrain and lovely parks.

Near the entrance, there were vendors showcased many of the lovely plants and flowers in this park and
we probably can bargain and buy from them. We also rent the native costume for 25 pesos and take
photos with the costume and we look like a igorot and igorota. There are also two horses with pinkish
mane where you can pay a token amount to sit on them and take photos. The horses look lovely.

There was a warning sign put up at one corner alerting visitors to be beware of pickpocketers.

Mines View Park is also along the same road down to the Mansion, Wright Park and the Botanical
Garden. 2e visited first Mines View Park, walked a short distance down to the Mansion and Wright Park.
Further down we visited the Botanical Garden before returning back to Carantes Street. After 2 weeks
we need to go home and in that 2 weeks of vocation in baguio we really enjoyed love this place.
