Puerto Princesa, Palawan

A new plan has been made!

Despite that travelling on a backtrack is yet to happen, this upcoming plan is just way too exciting to put off.

Yes, yes there's a lot of backtracking to be done but one just cannot put on hold future plans especially when there's an airline seat sale and a group of eager beavers. Right? 

Palawan is a fitting destination after experiencing nature's charm in Bohol and this is said after a fair amount of research which has done nothing but increase the anticipation.  

So here goes the plan, and just as usual, this is travelling on a budget and a whole lot of fun!
