About This Blog

Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

Boracay White Beach: Picture Perfect Paradise!

Arrived at Caticlan airport on a Cebu Pacific flight and checked in at Boracay Court Yard, Tutubi and friends set out to walk on Boracay's famous (and much too touristy) White Beach famous for it's powdery white sand, and azure water.

Pictures of Boracay: One of the top ten beaches in the World by Yahoo Travel in 2007:

Coming up: Kapamilya's Umagang Kay Ganda in Boracay, Kiteboarding/ Kitesurfing/ Windsurfing on Bulabog Beach and much,much more!

Expect this to become some sort of a Boracay Photo Blog! :P
