#InstaWorthy Places in Davao

"We travel to see the world not to take photos"

Some people have this mantra, but not me. Others might find it narcissistic but I wanna be seen in the places I've been.

Maybe a lot of travel photographers find that cringe worthy but in my opinion, if I want to just take a photo of the place, I can just buy a post card in the airport or something. Besides, I'm a traveler and a tourist (I don't care about the labels). I am not a travel photographer either so I'll do what I want no matter what other's opinion is. I encourage everyone to do so as well.

After all that rant, I just want to share the #InstaWorthy places I've been in my recent trip. I will start doing this from now on. :)

All pictures were taken by my friends. Feel free to copy our poses if you want. Lol

Francisco Bangoy International Airport

This city is so full of beautiful spots for pictures that right after getting off the plane, we were already able to take a good snapshot to show everyone in Manila that we have arrived in Davao. Thank you large Durian just outside the airport.



Museo Dabawenyo
Andres Bonifacio Rotunda, Poblacion District, Davao City, Davao del Sur
Mon-Sat 9:00a-12:00p, 1:00-6:00p

This is a free museum because it is run by the government but there is 1 rule; You cannot take pictures inside. So why did I include this, well the place where photo is allowed made a really nice background. Just check this:


People's Park
Palma Gil St, Poblacion District, Davao City, 8000 Davao del Sur
Hours of Operation: 5:30 – 10:00 am, 3:00 – 11:00 pm

This place has a lot of great spots but I chose the most popular Durian sculpture that it is known for. I don't know why but it kind of reminds me of South Korea.








D' bone Collector
San Pedro St, Poblacion District, Davao City, Davao del Sur
Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 10:00a-5:00p, Sat 1:00p-5:00p

When I saw our pictures, i only had one thing in mind: Jurassic World. No, they do not have dinosaurs but all the bones around makes me feel like it is. They also had some animals that were preserved via taxidermy. Whether you wanna be part of the picture or not, this place surely take a lot of your memory because of all the interesting things they have to offer. Mitch posed for a funny shot while Jinky, Kyrel and I went all dramatic. Lol

Adrenaline High in the Sky: Eden Nature Park and Resort

Eden Nature Park Bo. Eden, Toril, Davao City, Davao Del Sur It is my second attempt to visit Eden Nature Park because when I first tried last December, some wealthy family in Davao had it closed during the days I was there. (It's ok, I got over it.) My friend Zeli who is from Davao planned our itinerary and I'm so glad she included this. She said that it is one of her favorite places in the city. In fact, her family booked to stay there for the night because she will come home. They know her so well. Photo from Eden Nature Park and Resort's website It is a an hour drive from Ma-a, where we were staying but with all the chitchats (Yes, it is a known fact that girls can talk for hours), we didn't even notice it. The place reminds me of Baguio because it's cold and they have a lot of pine trees. There is a mandatory entrance fee but it's ok because it comes with food already. You can choose between a plated snack (choice between Tuna Melt or Spaghe...

Disappointments and Realizations on Rayquaza Raids

I wasn't really supposed to blog but I was just really disappointed. I am a returning player (just came back June 20) and I am really enjoying the game since there are so many things happening to Pokèmon Go now. (To those who are thinking of going back, please download it now!) There are tasks, I can now trade mons and there are so many spawns compared to before where all we can get is Pidgey. These are the improvents that I was looking for when I left years ago. However, there's this one part of the game that makes me so upset everytime. T5 Raids!!! Just like today. It is the last time for me to try and catch another Rayquaza but since there is no player nearby, I am left to accept that I won't be able to. 🙁 Since I came back, I was only able to win Legendary Raid thrice. First one is in BGC during lunch, next is in Singapore with a friend (so much more fun playing the game there btw) and last is one afternoon where I happen to come across an egg ha...
