Backpacking the Philippines is an experience very different from travelling around the rest of South East Asia. Seven thousand islands to explore, The Philippines is a vast country stretching across the North Pacific Ocean. A land of pirates and smugglers, of ancient tribes and mysterious jungles, epic parties and isolated islands, you simply cannot go wrong with backpacking in The Philippines.
Cheap beer, beautiful beaches, adrenaline pumping activities and some of the most friendly, genuine, people in all of Asia; The Philippines truly captured my heart. I made some incredible friends in The Philippines and I have to say; in general, it is one of the easiest countries in the world to travel around as the locals are so friendly. I was in The Philippines for just a month on my first trip and six weeks on my second trip. I am aiming to return for at least three months as part of my next adventure and I managed to see some truly stunning sites despite only being there for a short period of time.
So Amigos, here is an awesome guide to Backpacking the Philippines just for you. Enjoy!
