Fifteen of 2015

FIFTEEN OF 2015

-ryandgreat

we've come the final stretch of 2015 and it feels like 2015 will not end

for this year, i paid hefty sum of P11,340.00 for travel tax and P4,100.00 for terminal fees

this is not to brag the amount that i paid for

pages from my old passport

i just do not know the significance of travel tax and terminal fees

for what has come to be known as the worst airport in the world and now the laglag-bala capital pa!

i'd like to share the unexpected and yet interesting journeys that i've been 

where i've conquered 15 destinations of local,

from luzon, visayas and mindanao

and foreign, asia-wide all in 2015!

yes! it was a travel year for me! my new passport should also be thanked for thus i renewed a year earlier

August | Angkor Wat of Pnom Phen, Cambodia

September | Gyeongbokgung Palace of Seoul, South Korea

October | Chiang Kai Shek of Taipei, Taiwan

November | Ginza of Tokyo, Japan

December | The Bund of Shanghai, China

looking back to bewildering mix of my foreign and local trips,

i thank God for travel as one of the best gifts in my life,

at work i get to travel a lot in various destinations and different locations here 

and outside the country i get to rediscover cities far from home and exploring new places that i've never been before


i'd like to see more next year! but for now, let me greet each and everyone a Happy 2016!
