Outwit, Outplay, Outlast - Survivor Outland Adventure!

Walking, it's more fun in Outland Adventure!

And once again, I'm back! It really feels great when your at your comfort zone. The past few weeks had been tough; it was truly challenging... well, mentally so to speak. My brain needs a rest because it's been in 'turbo' mode since Papa Jisas knows when. Haha! For the past few months, I was really craving for a real adventure. By intense, I mean bungee jumping, ziplining with a speed close to the speed of light (whoa), swimming and all those things that you've seen in Amazing Race, NatGeo Adventures, and other adventure-related shows.

Of Ruined Vacations: Cancelled and Delayed Flights

Janelle Tan (not her real name) had already planned to have a grand vacation in Boracay with her college friends. It has been years since their last adventure. She and her friends availed a promo fare to Caticlan months before their Boracay escapade. As the date of their vacation drew nearer, Janelle can no longer contain her excitement. She had already packed her things, and updated her social media accounts.

"Boracay, see you in three days! #vacation #MyLife #MainggitKa", her Twitter account said.

The day of their flight came. They were scheduled to leave Manila at three in the afternoon. At 1PM, they were already inside NAIA Terminal 3. Everything went well; they did not encounter any problems. After 20 minutes, they were already at the pre-departure area. It was rather full of people, as expected. Every summer, there is a significant increase of flights in and out of Manila, mostly coming from the domestic sector.

They were expected to board at 2:40 PM, as indicated in their boarding passes. It was already 3PM and there were no any advisories regarding their flight. Janelle was expecting this, maybe a 15 to 20 minute delay. At 3:30 PM, they were advised that their new ETD (Estimated Time of Departure) will be at 3:40 PM due to air traffic congestion over Manila.

You might think that once you’ve been on one beach holiday you’ve been on them all, but you’d be wrong. Europe is packed full of lesser known beaches that are just crying out for the more adventurous traveller to explore them.

From award winning beaches in Bulgaria to the underdeveloped coast lines of Turkey, Europe has got a lot to offer beach loving tourists, if only they knew where to look. Here are some of the best beaches in Europe, that only the locals know about.

Postcard: From Junk to Art

Awesome street art at KK.

While strolling around downtown Kota Kinabalu, we passed by this particular abandoned lot, adjacent to the mall. We surmised that a building once stood there, and got demolished after some time. Its foundations were the only remaining part. Somehow, it was vandalized using spray paints and other similar materials. I am not a fan of street art because I'd always associate it with gang, drugs, and other manifestations of an evil and malevolent spirit (lolwhat). Sounds OA, but true story, bro.

My perceptions however changed after visiting this particular spot at downtown KK.

 

Serious Hiker? Head to Phoenix's Hottest Trailheads

Despite the fierce summer heat, Phoenix, Arizona is a great place for hikers, mountain bikers and other outdoorsy types. Hiking is a year-round activity in the Sonoran Desert. Over 200 miles of trails are available in the Phoenix metro area alone. If you're hitting the trails during the summer you'll want to get an early start — a very early start. While we all know it's a cardinal rule, always pack plenty of water. The dry desert heat wicks away sweat quickly and it's easy to get dehydrated without realizing it.

It's The Final Countdown!

The Original Approachables

A lot of things had happened in the past few weeks, and this post is just an update about my not-so-awesome life outside my comfort zone. Heh!
