My boyfriend and I love to travel and discover places, despite the lack of money. If we're not travelling, we go food tripping. So, on his birthday, we planned to go somewhere he has never been to which is near the city and affordable. Since I'm not really a fan of the sea because it's salty, I always liked falls. And because he has never been to Hagimit Falls, we decided to give it a go.  I've been to Hagimit Falls back in 2014 with my classmates. We used our classmate's car back then so I'm not really familiar with commuting to get to the area which we are going to do because we don't have a car. To get to the place, we first google how to get there. According to one blog we read, we can ride a bus to Peñaplata, Samal Island and ride a habal-habal to get to Hagimit Falls. So we did. We left at 8:00 A.M. from our house which is situated in Maa, Davao City. We rode a jeepney which took us to Magsaysay. We arrived at the terminal at 8:40. The termina...

Our driver during the Sohoton Trip told us that we could take a look at a place called LaSwitan. To my curiosity, I took a look at it on YouTube and found this. The waves of the Pacific Ocean slaps the large rocks and the water is caught inside like a basin and forms a pool. Amazing, isn't it? So from Hayanggabon Port, we had lunch and at around 2 PM we took the journey to Cortes. From Cortes, we rode a muddy and rocky 7 km road to LaSwitan. Unfortunately, we weren't able to reach it in High tide. So we didn't witness what can be seen in the video. :( So we took photos and climbed the rocks instead. By the way, what we did was actually not allowed. We didn't know it was illegal until we were done with it. Hehehe. It was scary though. The rocks are very sharp and slippery, if you fall on the other side, there's  a chance you might no...
