2026 World Trip
Asia, UK, and Europe - if The Orange Shitgibbon, don't blow up the friggin' world!!


Coron - 02/05/2026
Ahoy from Coron, The high speed ferry from Coron had Wi-Fi, A/C, a snack counter and we got great seats. Phewww, Redemption feels good in 20 degree controlled climate! The two hour trek was a piece o’ piss, we deferried, (oh yeah when you leave a plane in the Philippines the hostesses announce that you will “deplane”) grabbed a trike to the other pier and 10 minutes later we were on a private boat to Discovery Resort on Discovery Island. Jen-Jen booked this epic place that is

El Nido - translation - I'll Needo dunny! 26/02/2026.
Some days, the bus is empty and the open road sets you free. Some days, the bus is packed and you suffocate. Some days (and nights) you’re chained to the porcelain bus… ( B.J.S. 2026) Mabuhay from El Nido, After leaving our wonderful hosts in Port Barton, we got the obligatory trike to the bus stop, ready for our 3 - 4 hour journey to El Nido. Now, Jen-Jen has booked mostly everything on this trip, but I stepped up and booked the bus to El Nido. No worries, except that it was

Respec' from Port Barton Mon - The Philippean Caribbean - 20/02/26
Hail up Well the last few days have seen us do not much at all, dear readers. Jen-Jen has recovered, I’ve swum and had some good meals around the beach and we even had a night out in the Escape Bar where we RULED as kings of the pool table for an hour or so. Interesting side note: if you foul a ball, there is no two-shot rule. Instead, your opponent places the ball anywhere on the table for their next shot. Great rule, and one that we embraced whole-heartedly! Anyway, we sett

Doctors, whalesharks, ferries and beachside living - 13/02/2026
Aloha From Alona Good afternoon, dear readers, Well after the chaos of the canyoneering adventure, we had a very relaxing day and night at Seascape until Jen woke up in the middle of the night with massive ear pain. The next day, we were due to check out, but in the morning, she asked me to take her to the doctors to get a script for a severe ear infection. I’d purchased some ear drops from the pharmacy in Moalboal two days before, but they were not cutting the mustard - so

Canyoneering or “We Could Have Died Eight Times!” - 10/02/2026
…the author sits in front of his computer and with shaking hand raises whiskey to mouth. The single malt soothes as it goes down, The wife skols half a can of premixed goodness and lets out a sigh. Their wide-eyes meet and after a few more sips, the horrors of the day seem to lessen… Ever heard of canyoneering? I’ve heard of the Canyaneero on The Simpsons, but canyoneering. No sir, I have not. Well, I hadn’t before a few weeks ago until I watched a YouTube video of two 18 ye

Mubahay from the Philippines - 8/2/2026
Good afternoon readers and welcome to our 2026 travel blog! For those of you who don’t know, my name is Brett, and my wife, Jen and I are both teachers from Australia who are taking the year off and travelling around the world. We have rented our house out, have said goodbye to the family, packed our (numerous) bags and then headed off to Sydney. We then jumped on the Cebu Pacific flight on Friday 6th Feb 2026. 8 hours later we landed in the Philippines, and after getting mig
