Travel is something I love doing whenever I have the means to do so. I love going to out-of-town trips, but I do not know how to drive a stick shift car yet so one of the most significant factors that I always consider is that, it should be both accessible for private and public transportation. I am from the southern part of Metro Manila, but I have not been to all the nearby provinces due to lack of time and budget. 

Where To Go in South Luzon

There are many different places to visit in Luzon and here are some tips on where to go in South Luzon.

Batangas is a top choice for Manila dwellers who is up for a quick weekend getaway.

Tagaytay is close to my heart. I love going here when I want to unwind. It is only an hour away from home, and it is accessible to both private and public vehicles. Food is what I am always after, and the cold weather too, especially during the Holiday season. Every restaurant in Tagaytay offers a unique dining experience. Do not miss trying Bulalo and Tawilis, and after a long day of exploring, you may stay in an Airbnb, B and B or hotel.

Puerto Galera is Oriental Mindoro's pride. I have been to Puerto Galera 10 years ago. It was Holy Week so the place was jam-packed. We have failed to look for a room to stay overnight, so we had to go back to Batangas. Going here is easy. Take a bus bound for Batangas Pier and take a boat going to Puerto Galera. You will never run out of things to do that is why a lot of foreign and local visitors flock in here to diving, island hopping, and swimming. You may drop by at the Mangyan Village and interact with the people. 

  • Enchanted Kingdom

Are you looking for some fun and exciting adventure? Go to the Enchanted Kingdom and try all the rides that they have such as Anchors Away, Disk-O-Magic, Ekstreme, Rio Grande, and Space Shuttle to name a few. Every weekend, there is a lineup of special shows you can watch like Enchante Musicale, Kingsmen and Victoria's Way to name some. Treat yourself to a delicious meal by visiting Amazon Grill, Diggers Treat or Jungle Wraps. A regular day pass costs Php 800 on a weekday and Php 900 on a weekend. 

What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially on other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterday's on the road."
