Have Internet Will Travel A blog about travel freelancing in the Philippines

Here are some of the people and places we’ve met and visited during our travels. The ratings we’ve included (?/5) are not indicative of a city or dive site’s quality, but rather the service level and general experience we had there. Anything that’s a 3 or higher, I would likely recommend to a friend depending on the type of traveler.
