Just got back from a 12 day solo trip to the Philippines and honestly it feels really underrated as a destination. I visited Coron, El Nido in Palawan, and finished the trip in Manila.
Coron was incredible. The water was unbelievably clear, and the diving around the shipwrecks and lagoons was amazing. It also felt much less crowded than the Thai islands, which made it easier to relax. Hostels were social and it was easy to meet people without the place feeling...
