The Crew.

In our adventures, there are some very special people that share with us their time, efforts, and skills. Through thick and thin, we've gone to so many adventures, photography sessions, trekkings, airsoft games, island explorations, and share with us during getaways.

"When you summon your will, your dreams become inevitable; once you experience getaways, your voyage never ends."

My dream is to explore, photograph, understand, and experience all the provinces in the Philippines. To do that successfully, we have to travel, explore, photograph, ride, dive, trek, and blend in with the locals. The best places in the Philippines are those that are seldom explored (not mainstream) and accessible only to a few true blooded explorers. Other places that we all commonly love are simply there for relaxation and for fun with friends. But there are places that are astonishingly beautiful yet reserved for those that will persevere: Palaui Island, Jomalig Island, Looc/Lubang Islands, Hermana Mayor Island, Gigantes Islands, Caramoan Island, Kalanggaman Islands, Quatro Islas, Buscalan, and many more unbelievable destinations. We will share it here - the places, food, and the people.
