This is my first travel blog. This is my own version of a DIY “Do-It-Yourself” travel guide. I chose to start on this because this was my first solo travel as backpacker. I am telling you, traveling does not need to be expensive. I’ll share with you through snapshots/pictures how to enjoy these hidden gems of Bohol Island. Snapshots below are the stories of my entire stay in Bohol (From Day1 to Day4). Also, you’ll find below the breakdown of expenses and contacts for your reference on your next travel.
