“WOW” is the BEST word to describe Davao! From the spectacular white sand beaches to sumptuous tuna belly……
“WOW” is the only word that I could say….
Davao exceeded my expectations…. From the honest taxi drivers, clean city and parks, courteous hotel staffs, beautiful resorts and beaches 👌🏻 and best tasting food….. That is the only city I wanted to live in….. (If ever I will settle down in the future….i will definitely say yes!) (ehem ehem!)
I fell in love with Davao! It’s not love at first sight… But my love grows deeper each day. From Day 1 to my Day 4, I promise, it is worth it!
My friend (Jinkee) invited me to join her coz she has a conference. But I have to be alone for 2 days…. 😭😭😭 Honestly, i was afraid to go alone. Then, every people I meet in Davao makes me feel comfortable and safe. I really get used to traveling alone so I made a list of the 5 tips when traveling solo. Haha!
I have a lot of things to say…. But i cannot find the right words…
For me, DAVAO is beautiful…..
It is safe….
And the beaches is unbelievably near….. It’s crazy near!!!!

TIPS💡
- The Philippine Eagle/Malagos Resort /Eden is far…. make sure you join a group that will rent your own ride
- If you are traveling solo like me, go to Bankerohan Market then ride jeep to Calinan then ride habal
- This is not sponsored but check-in at Red Planet Hotel Davao, it has value for your money… near malls, airport and wharfs
- Book on Agoda. It’s cheaper (not sponsored)
- Taxi drivers are the best! 😉 (never had problems with taxi in Davao)
- Buy water food etc in the groceries
- Pearl Farm Davao was best resort I’ve been to… seriously! great service 👌🏻 (not sponsored)
- If you are in a budget, there are a lot of cheaper resorts for day tour.
- Php6k-7k will be more than enough for 4 days budget.(depending on how you stretch your money)
