Traveling makes us speechless and turns us into a storyteller. I couldn't agree more!

When I was young, I always look forward to traveling- because I love seeing new places and new faces. I am from a country who have so much to offer for the eyes and heart- also called as the 'Pearl of the Orient'- the PHILIPPINES!

If you're planning to visit our country, here are six (6) places you must see:

Vigan, Ilocos Sur

Calle Crisologo, the famous street in Vigan

Vigan is on the west coast of Luzon island. It's known for its preserved Spanish colonial and Asian architecture. Calle Crisologo dominates the Mestizo district, with its cobblestone streets, malecón, horse-drawn carriages and rustic mansions. Near the white baroque Vigan Cathedral are Plaza Salcedo, offering fountain light shows, and Plaza Burgos, known for its street-food stalls.
