Hello from Boracay! Itās already the month of August, known as the āGhost Monthā (kaway-kaway sa mga Bea-Gerald-Julia followers jan⦠yeah, Iāve been following their drama too, lol!)Ā and I just found some time to check my blog. Weāve been traveling from Cagayan de Oro to Oslob, then to Dumaguete, Bacolod, Iloilo and Boracay, then Antique, then back to Iloilo, Bacolod, Dumaguete, then Oslob again.

Traveling is just one of my passions and I donāt think I will ever stop, not until I really have to due to old age. Teehee. So, it came as a surprise to me when all of aĀ sudden I feel so burnt out from all the traveling weāve been doing. Has this ever happened to you as well?
So, how do we avoid travel burnout when traveling with a group, especially with our extended family? Continue reading →
