Traveling solo will always give you that sense of fulfillment that you were able to conquer a place on your own. Traveling in a group on the other hand always gives you that kind of experience you would want to recall over and over again. I guess that is because you were able to share what was happening at the moment to somebody else and it makes the bond between your family or friends even stronger.

I actually love doing both, but most of the time (especially if I’m on a budget) I would choose to travel with friends rather than doing it alone. There are still a lot of places to cross on my list but for those looking to fill their itinerary with interesting destinations, here are some up-and-coming tourist spots to consider.

They say that there is always something new in Davao City, if it wasn’t about the destination, it must be the food. That is why on my nth return to this wonderful city down south, I decided to continue my food journey and have a taste of some the dishes notable restaurants has to offer.

And because I am on a no Chicken and Beef diet on this trip, I decided to stroll around and look for other places to eat. A friend of mine and fellow blogger, Duane Bacon, who currently resides in Davao City toured me around and brought me to some of the must try restaurants in the City. Just a note, I was only able to try a few and not all in the lists (as of the moment) are fully vegan but will do my best to add update the list soon enough on my return.

Here is some of what we’ve discovered.

For someone who’ve been living in the city since brith, knowing about tribes and cultures could only be learned through textbooks, and/or television set or through the net. Developing an interaction with the real ones could also be difficult due to its proximity. We also do know that most of the tribes lives far away from urban villages in their way to preserved their old ways and cultures.

If learning about the arts and cultures excites you, for sure seeing and understanding a legit tribe could give you a bliss, but what if you can experience not only one but eleven of them, different tribes placed in one location?

Keep on reading and will tell you more about this village I just recently discovered.

This isn’t a mall nor a campus but rather the headquarters of AirAsia in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The AirAsia RedQ (RedQuarters) is such a model office one can really look up to specially those who are planning or already have a business of their own. But what I discovered in this place wasn’t just an airline company, it is more than just ‘a company’ and I felt that when I got a chance to visit the HQ even just for a short period of time.

Continue reading and I will tell you more about my experience.
