Stories that bring the Philippines closer to your heart.
Growing up between Australia and the Philippines, I always felt caught between cultures. Philippines Travel Tours was born from that space - blending comfort, authenticity, and adventure. This blog shares the heart behind the business and how my family roots inspired me to reconnect with the islands, create unforgettable experiences, and give others a deeper look at our home.
In 2023, my husband and I returned to the Philippines - and everything shifted. Far from the comfort I knew growing up, this raw, unfiltered journey through the Visayas opened my eyes to both the challenges and beauty of island life. It was tough, humbling, and real - and it sparked a vision for something greater.
From travel mishaps to magical waterfalls, this blog captures the turning point - when I realized how extraordinary the Philippines is, and how much of it remains unseen by travellers. This post shares the heart behind why I started Philippines Travel Tours: to make these experiences accessible, stress-free, and deeply meaningful.
