Travel experience

When I was in College , a friend of mine informed me about mountaineering organization.  She talked about her experience on her first travel and how she build a love on natures.  The way I listen to her stories make myself be excited
to joined that organization.

Finally , when I got in to that organization, our first climb is the Mt. Pico de Loro which is located on Ternate Cavite.  
As we enter into the feet of the mountain, its like a magnetic field.  Before we start to travel , the first thing that comes in my mind is if can i get into the peak.. But well I did it ! The beauty of views when you are at the top of the mountain will refresh your mind and will recognize how beautiful and blessed our country. 

Our country ,Philippines has so many unique destinations to offer for all hiking athletes.! As a tropical country blessed with some of the greatest biodiversity in the world, the flora and fauna of our jungles and deep forests are sure to amaze visitors. Entire forests covered in moss, and pristine mountains with yet-unnamed species of pitcher plants and orchids, are just some of the options in our repertoire of destinations. In one mountain, you can actually go up from humid, tropical to arid, temperate forests. As part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, we also have some impressive, world-famous volcanoes to scale. Mt. Pinatubo - source of the most powerful eruption of the 20th century - now has a beautiful crater lake that's one of our most popular day trek destinations. Taal Volcano has a lake within an island within a lake within an island, another fascinating destination just near Manila. We also have Mayon Volcano, whose perfect cone is a tropical rival to that of Mt. Fuji. More challenging volcanoes include Mt. Kanlaon and Mt. Apo. In these volcanoes, sometimes there are hot springs that serve as the ultimate reward after a trek. The Philippines offers island peaks which offer breathtaking views of the sea. Land-and-sea adventures are also possible. Di'nem Island requires a 50-meter swim in open ocean before starting a sea. Other treks such as Mt. Hibok-Hibok would end in some of the country's best beaches, or some of the world's best diving and snorkeling sites. Finally, the geographic diversity of the Philippines has also led to its very rich and varied culture. Go up the Cordilleras in Northern Luzon and interact with the countless friendly mountain tribes, some of which helped carved the Ifugao Rice Terraces - a World Heritage Site hailed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Interestingly, some treks such as Mt. Napulauan and Amuyao have these 'stairways to the heaven' as part of the trail!

Try to start travelling and you will find how its amazing. Lets travel..
