Fortune Island Day Trip

Athens, Philippines

White Beach

Romantic Scenery

Langka Bar

Ruined Cabanas

Discover one of the Philippines’ secret beaches, Fortune Island.  

Sadly, after typhoon Glenda, the island’s facilities got ruined. Almost all of the cabanas and the shipwreck museum were totally wiped out. Nonetheless, this island resort is still beautiful. The Greek Pillars are still there. You will have a feeling that you are in Athens, Greece. I do not recommend you to swim here since the beach is quite rocky. This island is perfect for pictorials. If you are a bride that is looking for place for pre-nup pictures, then this is the perfect place for you. It’s very romantic, quiet and almost everything looks good in pictures. 

I recommend you to stay here for just a day trip because there is no water available for taking a bath or drinking. But if you are the adventurous type of person you can stay here overnight and go camping.

I surprisingly fell in love with the city of Toronto. I only spent a few days here and I want to share with you my experience here. Toronto is one of the most beautiful cities, I have ever seen. It’s like a mini version of New York, which is cleaner and cheaper, and also the people are friendlier. There are a lot of things to do and places to see and restaurants to eat here. I will give you some of the best and affordable restaurants from a local’s perspective.  

How to get there?

By Airplane: There are two airports in Toronto, which are Toronto Pearson International (YYZ); and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)

BY Intercity bus: You can try the Greyhand, Ontario Northland, or Coach Canada

By Train; By Ferry; By Car

Toronto has a very effective mass transit system. They have trams, subways, buses that are very tourist friendly. If you don’t want to spend a buck on transportation, you can just do a walking tour of the whole city.  You can also rent a bikefor $7 for 1 day. Bike sharing is quite a big thing in Toronto, it’s also a safe place because there are a lot of bicycle lanes around the city.  You can also hire an UBER car which is cheaper and safer compared to taking taxis.      

 If you are in Toronto for just a few days, I advise you to get a DAY PASS for only $11.50.  This allows you to have unlimited travel to all modes of transportation in Downtown Toronto.

Weekly Pass is $40.75; Monthly Pass is $141.50

Where to Eat?

Poutini’s- Try the best poutine here after a wild night out with your friends.

The Burger’s Priest- Best burgers in Toronto Try the burger with portabella mushroom

Old School- Eating brunch is a must here. Try their Pancakes with Peanut Butter, and Spicy fried chicken and waffles

Pea meal Bacon- Try the famous sandwich at the St. Lawrence Market

Chinatown- There are also a lot of good restaurants in this area. You can also try the Vietnamese and Thai Restaurants here

Where to Stay?

There are many affordable hotels in Downtown Toronto Ranging from $100 to $200. Look for hotel brands like Courtyard Marriot, or Fourpoints by Sheraton.

The most expensive hotels are theTrump International Hotel, and theFairmont York Hotel which can cost you up to $500 a day.  The Fairmont York Hotel is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen. The queen usually stays at this hotel, whenever she’s in Toronto.

There are also many youth hostels for backing tourists in Downtown Toronto, that can range from $30 to $50 a day.

If you want to try the local experience,  you can also rent apartment through AIRBNB.
