A Trip to Paradise (El Nido, Palawan)

Before my 1st trip to El Nido, Palawan last year (September 2016), I’ve been to Palawan 3 times but in other areas (once in Puerto Princesa and twice in Coron). If you will ask me which one is my favorite, I can say El Nido right now but that’s not final because San Vicente and Amanpulo are still in my bucket list.

This was a post birthday trip and we stayed in El Nido Resorts’ Pangulasian Island. Trip Advisor ranked this as the #1 resort not only in Palawan but in the Philippines. After spending 3 days there, I will have to agree. It feels like Paradise!

This amateur video won’t give enough justice to describe this experience but I’m just gonna give it a try. At least I had a great time using Quik (the GoPro video editing app) for the 1st time. 🙂
