#thedailyposhtravels 2015 Highlights

Supposedly, I’ll be posting my 2015 travel highlights as my year-starter post. However, due to some circumstances and matter of urgency on what to post first, I end up just “now” to write about what made my 2015 so much blessed and full of adventures. I travelled with friends, love ones and people who became my new friends. Life is really full of surprises and opportunities and one should have the guts and instinct as well on what to take. But for me, every opportunity that comes on my way is already a blessing and I won’t let it pass without taking any chances. Why? Whatever the result of that decision, whether happy or sad, I know, I’m going to learn something that would make me a better person. Everything has installed a lesson yet to be learned and discovered and here I am, willing to do take another step to learn and discover more and looking forward that you, my reader, will be part of it, soon.
Meanwhile, here’s the highlights of what made my life more interesting and what made me more strong, enthusiastic, and excited on what lies ahead of 2016. One thing for sure, it’ll be an all-out fun and a year full of adventures. Still, I am managing my time properly to have those unposted getaways will be up soon on the blog.

January

Cavinti Spillway

Cavinti, Laguna – I started the year 2015 with a 2-day/1-night eco-adventure tour in Cavinti, Laguna with fellow bloggers. It was a getaway full of adventures, literally, as we trekked going up and down to the Cavinti Falls which is also known as Pagsanjan Falls. Part of the tour was to visit the Cavinti Church, Camarin Guesthouse and Eco-Park Resort, Bumbungan Eco-Park and beautiful places and resorts in Cavinti.

looking forward to see you in Vatican, sponsor please. :)
