EXPLORE Mindanao Philippines - My Long Awaited TRIP
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
by: Denis Waitley
For the past two years as a teacher, my life was stuck in the four corners of my classroom. Hanging out with friends and travel was all I ever wanted. I always imagine that I need to loosen up and planned for my long-awaited trip of my dreams.
I planned everything perfectly — the goal are to have an adventurous experience with my friends and the Instagram shots that will make my other friends jealous.. So, I search the most convenient place to go without sacrificing our work. Here we go having the time of our life.
If you want to explore the beauty of MINDANAO with tight budget better to book a tour under My Expedition Travel and Tour they have a lot to offer..

From Cagayan de Oro, Agora Bus Termina We are a total of 15 participants and we travel for almost 3 hours and 30 mininutes to reach Jollibee in Valencia City. We are advised to buy our breakfast if we want a heavy meal, since there's no nearby dining place in our destination.
(to my OHANA @steemitfamilyph) YES! I know what you guys are thinking.. Flashback memories of my Jollibee moments.
Sorry, I can't share with all of you what my Jollibee moment is all about. I stake my reputation if I say so...
I beg your silence @tpkidkai and the rest of the gang. LOL! (laughing out loud)
It was 4:30 am when we arrived at our dropping point at Davao - Buda National High way, Kitaotao, Bukidnon. By then, we need to ride a vehicle so called "SKYLAB MOTORCYCLE". It has extensions consisting of wooden planks placed across the back seat of the motorcycle to form the seats for the passengers on both sides.
I was surprised as I saw the vehicle that we're about to ride. The only word that I uttered "NO WAY! This cant be true!" YES! I want to have the full adventure experience in this tour, however I loved myself even more to keep in mind of my safety. They take 30 minutes to convince me to take a ride or else I'll have an honorary walk since there is no other option.
As we are heading to our first destination. I cried for mercy to our Heavenly father to lead the way and to keep us safe. The adventure begun when we hit the rough road uphill. Whew!! My heart skips a beat. That 30 minutes were the longest ride in my 26 years of existence. Adventure is for real.
----------> Hills View <----------
Hills View Mountain Villa is an exclusive rest house that is now open to the public. Located at Marilog District, Davao del Sur, Philippines. A perfect gateway for relaxing because of the beautiful view, cold breeze and fresh air given by nature.
----------> D' Captain Haven Resort <----------
Captain's Haven is a cluster of cottages in the heart of Datu Salumay, Marilog where the finest view of the forest and the cool climate of this temperate part of Davao City will comfort your tired spirit.
----------> BENWA Strawberry Farm <----------
Bemwa Farm got its name from the initials of five friends who decided to put up the said establishment: Berwin, Eugene, Marlo, Weldy, and Aimee. A summer destination in the northern part of Mindanao which offers a peaceful, green scenery, and a cool weather perfect for all ages to enjoy.
----------> Garden of Gethsemane <----------
You will surely like it to stay here. The beautiful landscape on Garden of Gethsemane Mountain Resort and the cold breeze as well will definitely love the place.
----------> JIVE "CAVE" Highland Resort <----------
Is a haven on top of the mountains. Jive Resort occupies 10 hectares of mountain land in Datu Salumay, Marilog District in Davao City.
Things that you shouldn't forget to bring for this extraordinary adventure:
- CAMERA to capture memories
- JACKET/PANTS (the area is quite cold)
- MEAL/SNACK (there's no food for sale at the area)
- WATER
- SWIM WEAR
It was indeed the rejuvenating break that I need. Another milestone of my travel memories. The body pain and bruises (so clumsy) I've got from the tour are all paid off. No dramas!!
