Philippines

Remember, the main thing in the Philippines is to get out of the cities and to the islands.

Manila for instance is one of the world’s most ugly and dangerous places.

Angeles is another violent city that grew up around an American air base, hence the rampant prostitution.

Ifugao is where you want to head for pristine rice paddies and waterfalls, up in the north of the Philippines.

Siquijor is the ultimate tropical beach paradise, nothing to do but enjoy nature.

Marawi is where you head afterwards if you get bored, though you might need an armed guard with the terrorist activities there.

M.J Lloyd was born and raised on a small farm in rural Ohio. At the age of 18 he hit the road to Alaska with a meager savings and no plan. Over the next 2 years he wandered in search of real answers and a livable life. The journey has taken him through three continents, various loves, battles with the loneliness and insanity of the road, and extreme poverty. Though the lessons haven’t been easy, he has learned much from the trail, and has reached a much happier and more peaceful understanding on the nature of his life.
