This year, I challenged myself to travel back to Bacolod, Iloilo, and Dumaguete interconnectedly. 🧭 For the first time, I experienced crossing the border from Bacolod to Dumaguete. ☦️ Since these two different provinces form the island of Negros, 🏝️ it can be travelled by land for hoursss. 🚗 Thankfully, I'm not the driver so I was asleep during the long drive. 😪💤 While in Dumaguete, I revisited Rizal Boulevard and reminisced how I reached the place in 2019. 💭 Out of adventure, I escaped from my distant relatives' house in the southern side of Cebu and boarded a ferry, just to get to this famous Dumaguete spot. 😁 When I strolled the boulevard again last October, the vast sea was like a stone's throw that made me feel very close to the Queen of the South. 👑 Bacolod is also a good jump off point to Iloilo via ferry. 🛥️ Simplicio Palanca Seaport Terminal is an unforgettable place because of an epic (fail) experience. 😅 In 2019, we missed the last trip to Bacolod and got stuck in Iloilo! 🤣 Luckily this year, even if the trips are fewer, I managed to board in time ala buzzer beater 🏃🏻♀️🚨 from the Land of the Negrenses to the Land of the Hiligaynons! 💕 #lifeonthemove #diytrip #visayashopping #wheninbacolod https://www.instagram.com/p/ClN8kbAvx-5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
