Sion, Switzerland


It's been a week since I moved to the alps of Switzerland. There has been a lot of changes that happened to me, and I still am in the process of adjusting to this new lifestyle. Gone are the days when I could visit a mall at any time, or grab take out food at any hour, or just get lost in the tiny streets of a big city. It makes me happy to leave my village at times and explore new places. I just can't stay in one place for a long period of time. 

What do you think about the Swiss Alps? Of course, Snow. Well at this moment, it's summer therefore snow is nonexistent in most places. Today, I took a trip to Sion which is a couple of kilometres away from where I live.


Here are some photos that I took of Switzerland during the summer.






 Climbed up the chateaux Tourbillon, which was built in the 14th century. When you get to the top, the beauty of nature will shut yourself silent.

 Apparently, the canton of Valais in Switzerland produces a lot of wine. It's quite good. 















Switzerland is an interesting country with different cultural influences from each corner. It is also strategically located in the heart of Central Europe, which makes the country very accessible to its neighbours. After living in Manila and Paris, this gave me a new outlook in life. Now I get to breathe fresh air, drink water from the source, eat healthy, and most of the good benefits you get from living out of a bustling populated city. Yes, it gets boring at times and lonely as well and internet will become your best friend during weeknights but I will never trade this experience for anything else. I'm glad I moved to the province for once in my life.

LET THERE BE EUROPE.                                                                                                                                                                            If you might be thinking where I was for the past few days, I can’t summarize it into one post.  It’s quite often that my friends and I grab dinner followed by overflowing drinks that keeps us until sunrise. Last saturday was something new. The most popular road trip destination if you live in the south would always be Tagaytay, and that’s exactly where we went. I’ve had a post about Tagaytay before but this one’s entirely different. We went up to a place called Crosswinds. The whole property looked like it was shipped right from Europe. We went on a hike up here and another place that overlooked the Taal Lake, but because it was raining,the fog had covered up the whole view. When I revived my blog last July, I admit that I was pressured to post outfit shots, but I figured out that

I'M Hotel Makati (Is it the newest 5 star hotel?)

Image
Who is the new kid in town? I'M. (yes, that's the name of the hotel) After spending most of my days working in a hotel, I've adapted a feature that subconsciously notices details of service and even the architectural and engineering aspects. I am proud to be a Filipino hotelier and from now on, I will be exploring more of the country and hopefully SEA nations as I will take you along with me. I'M hotel bags the title as the newest 5-star hotel in the district. But is it really a 5 star hotel? The tall building soaring through the skyline of the CBD's outskirts located in Poblacion sparks curiosity mostly because of it's name. Similar to most, I asked why "I'M hotel" and up to now I still don't have an answer. After passing through the property along Makati avenue countless times, it was like a timelapse of the building's construction until a day came where they've put up a sign written onsen spa.

How to disconnect from the world without the need to travel far

It was 3am when we left Makati. After I came back to Manila from my hometown in Cebu last week, my friends and I headed up north to Zambales, which is about a 4 hour drive from Makati City. The scenery we aimed for was beyond the popular Philippine shores circulating heavily around the internet and we hit jackpot with the coves of Zambales.  Most international travel bloggers arrive the Philippines and cover three main spots "Palawan, Boracay and Cebu" . I absolutely love their content and everyday, I get inspired to create my own. My goal is to show people other spots that are barely developed highlighting the wonders of the country despite the common international impression.  Be prepared by the scenery that Zambales has to offer. The flora resembles nordic fjords splashed with savanna imagery on the inner side. The beaches of the coves sparkle bright during sunlight channeling the shores of Boracay and fades to earthly colours during dusk and sunrise.
