Puerto Princesa in Palawan is famous for its natural coves and turquoise blue waters. They even have lagoons for you to swim in and spend the afternoon eating fresh seafood. This magical city is the perfect place for a yoga and detox center. Read on to see what you can do there.

Raw Food Workshop

Bahay Kalipay in Tagalog means “the house of happiness.” This name is perfectly fitted to the type of ambiance you can feel there. They have a variety of workshops, including a raw food workshop, where instructors teach you about keeping the body alkaline by ingesting mostly raw vegetables and making sauces from scratch. They have practitioners who are skilled in their crafts and rearing to share their knowledge with you.

Yoga Retreat

If you’re looking for a place to unwind and stretch your tense limbs, then you’ve found the right place. They have week-long yoga workshops and even longer if you prefer to immerse yourself fully. Besides yoga classes, they also have meditation workshops to help you re-center. In a beautiful setting such as this, you’ll feel extremely refreshed when you leave.

Have you considered riding a motorbike through the jungle? Does the idea of exploring the unknown give you an adrenaline rush? If so, then maybe you should try out a Vespa adventure tour in the heart of Southeast Asia.

You’ll be riding a Vespa with a few new-found friends in the cities of your choosing. These cities include Saigon, Hoi An, Siem Reap, Hanoi, and even Chiang Mai. If you’re looking for a bike tour that’s out-of-the-ordinary and isn’t just a solo trip in nature – then try out Vespa Adventures for an unforgettable experience.

Interact With Other Travelers

Since traveling gives you the chance to discover yourself, why not share this journey with other travelers? It’s a good way to share your stories while hearing other people’s experiences abroad.

Discover New Places

The team equips you with all the gear you need, so you won’t have to worry about safety. They recommend wearing a good pair of rubber shoes since you’ll also be walking around, and they recommend that you come in comfy clothes. What sets this place apart is that they don’t just bring you to the touristy places. Instead, you’ll see spots you’ve never even heard of and maybe even discover an untraversed road!

Buckle Up

All you need to do in this trip is to sit back and relax. You can choose to either drive the Vespas yourself or have a local to drive you. Either way, you’ll be getting an experience unlike any other.

Guided by admiration and curiosity, people from all around the world come to see the amazingness called Shwedagon Pagoda, a big attraction not only for Buddhists, but for tourists as well.

The Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the most famous and breathtaking pagodas in the world, is made out of gold and diamonds. It sits atop of a hill, and this 326-foot-tall Buddhist temple can be seen from most places of Yangon, the capital of Myanmar in Southeast Asia. This golden structure, studded with over 7,000 diamonds, rubies, topaz and sapphires, shimmers in the day light and sparkles in the dark.

According to archaeologists, the pagoda was built between the 6th and 10th century. However, according to the legend, although there are no official documents attesting its construction, the pagoda is 2,600 years old, making it the oldest Buddhist temple in the world.

If you want to visit Shwedagon Pagoda, you should know that they won’t let you in if you aren’t dressed respectfully. Revealing clothes and shorts aren’t allowed. You can enter if you buy longyi, the traditional Burmese sarong-like dress.

Also, in the temple you will have to walk barefoot. You will have to remove your shoes and socks before you enter the temple grounds, so you should wear “pagoda ready” shoes, aka shoes that are easy to remove. You can leave them at the entrance or carry them in a plastic bag.
