Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, 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!

thank you for educating me, man!!! i only know of "kay susan tayo" on local tv... because... er... i don't watch tv because i thought there are no travel shows except in star world.
My husband and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so. We definately want to spend some time in South East Asia. Thanks for all of your helpful info!
As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. www.nomadbackpackers.com We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.
Thanks for the infos. I watched Travel Time with Susan Calo Medina and its really interesting and educational. I like the way they show the beauty of the philippines. I also watched their previous videos online www.traveltime.com.ph
I also like their slogan "wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan"
Enjoy watching the beauty of the philippines!
