Sarangani Province | Solo Backpacking

Image
Traveling solo? Why not! It might be a bit scary and lonely, but I find it more exciting and liberating, something you have to experience, atleast once in your life. When you're feeling lost and drained, wanting to have a laid-back getaway, need to take a break from everything or just want to enjoy your own company, then try to go somewhere far alone in a safe and beautiful place. In most cases, I've been traveling with a loved one and friends, so to make a difference, I finally tried my first solo backpacking and I did it in the province of Sarangani. Sarangani Province is located in the southern part of the Philippines. © Wikipedia The province is part of the SOCSKSARGEN (South Cotabato, Cotabato Province, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos) divided into 7 municipalities. Maasim, Kiamba and Maitum is located in the western part, while Malungon, Alabel, Malapatan and Glan is situated in the eastern part. WHAT I DID???  DAY 1

Have you been thinking to take a break from the city life and have a good dose of Vitamin Sea? Take a break from your usual routine and head yourself to Siargao Island. Siargao Island, known as the surfing capital of the Philippines is located in the province of Surigao Del Norte. With its enticing waves of the place, beautiful Islands and enchanting lagoons, you will be surely captivated. © Wikipedia HOW TO GET TO SIARGAO ? FROM DAVAO CITY: *If you are into a long road trip,  take a bus at Ecoland Terminal bound to Surigao City which is the jump off point to Siargao by land. Travel time is 12 to 13 hours. So I suggest, better start your trip at 2pm so you can catch the first trip of the ferry boat to Siargao. Regular bus fare is 935php. *For those who have a private car/van, travel time from Davao City to Surigao City is approximately 8 to 9 hours. *For those who want a hassle free, direct flight to Siargao is now available with Philippine Airlines.
