Untouched island beaches, secret caves, and hidden lagoons - the Phillipines is often left off the tourist’s trail, but we’re coming to change that. An astounding 7,000 tropical islands make up this vast archipelago - each one bursting with a unique flavour and character. Over the course of a week, we’ll visit one of the greenest and cleanest islands in the world, meet with one of the Philippines oldest surviving tribal communities, and explore its vast network of coastal caves and lagoons.

An invitation from Aylin

I am so happy to finally say it out loud: we are going to the PHILIPPINES! The Philippines were actually the first country I ever backpacked to (March 2017) and I absolutely fell in love with the country and always wanted to go back. Now is the time and I can share this experience WITH YOU!  I spent a lot of time thinking about the perfect itinerary for us and I think I came up with something great - the best of the Philippines I would say! We will explore Palawan & Coron for 7 days which are two of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines and known for their scenic landscapes, white beaches and vibrant underwater world. We will have 7 days packed with adventure, laughter, some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots in the world & lifetime experiences and I would love to have you on this trip. A popular saying is “It’s more fun in the Philippines” (it actually is, it’s even a big hashtag haha) and it’s true. Can’t wait to meet you in paradise!"

Meet your host

  • Traveling around the world and inspiring people to get out of their comfort zone has been a passion of mine for years. Going on adventures, exploring new cultures, getting lost in beautiful places, trying new foods and making new friends around the globe is what I love doing most and in 2021 I completely turned my back to the Accounting career I studied for and flew to Bali for “8 weeks of traveling and figuring out my life”. 17 months later and I am still here!I I went full-time into content creation, grew my Instagram account and am now considered an Influencer (still weird) and inspire others now more than ever! If your soul is also longing for a trip of a lifetime but you don’t see yourself solo traveling then this trip is the PERFECT opportunity for you to get out & explore the best parts of the Philippines together with me and other like minded people! I can’t wait to meet you and have you on the trip!

Can I come solo or with friend or a partner?

Both! solo travellers will immediately connect with the group under the bubbly stewardship of Aylin, and friends will likewise have a great time connecting with the group. if you're coming with a friend, and want to be roomed together, let us know in the rooming configuration box at purchase. if you're coming with a partner (or someone you're close enough to share a double bed with), let us know at time of booking and we will contact you with further details.

What is the rooming configuration?

The trip is priced on a twin occupancy / share basis, so you get to know your fellow travellers and have a bestie for the entire journey. To have a room solo, there will be an extra cost of $475. Email us to request this at hello@tourwithme.co.
