Wonders of Catanduanes

In my spare time, I love watching Byahe ni Drew Youtube videos. Drew visited Catanduanes in one of his itineraries. I intentionally did not watch the Catanduanes episode prior to my visit so as not to pre-empt any expectations about the place. I watched it after I went there.

My trip was so memorable; it was my first time that the airline issued me a manual ticket  since I was not a registered passenger due to a system glitch.  My departure flight was in Clark and I had to go through all the hassles of a passenger with unregistered booking despite the confirmed online payment. My friends and I were only able to check in during the last onboarding call. Stressful as you can imagine, the silver lining of this flawed flight service is that it was all worth it when I saw the beauty of Catanduanes.



Catanduanes is still not so famous compared to its neighboring towns in Bicol region. For nature lovers and those who want a "probinsya vibe", Catanduanes is a must see. You'll enjoy the rolling hills, the cliffs and the side tours through the use of "habal-habal" motorcycle. There are hiking requirements but it will be an easy breezy one compared to actual mountain hikings.
