BOHOL

How can I never fall in love with this land? It has all the beauty of nature, the best art I've ever laid eyes and an indescribable simplicity of life they embrace. I find serenity and peace whenever I close my eyes and think of this place. And if I am goin’ to have a chance again, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be but Bohol.


























This was the best coffee experience i've ever had. I can't even finish my coffee because i was just mesmerized with the ocean, the sand, the sun, the instrumental sounds in the background, and the peacefulness of the place.
