Three Things I love About Baguio
It has been more than a year since I last visited Baguio and due to this pandemic, we had more travel bans than travel plans.
Baguio will always be the first choice for me and I wouldn't mind going back there a hundred times. I am not an adventurous type of traveler, so I prefer not going and staying in a tourist spot as much as possible. I understand that it will not always be the case especially if it's your first time here. But I am at this point where I am more interested in experiencing the local living than traveling.
Why is that? Well, the reasons are multi-fold, but I have three things that keep me coming back to Baguio, so here you go...
- Good Food
Every traveler knows Baguio for producing fresh vegetables, fruits, and coffee beans. On top of that, it also brags its local restaurants which offer a wide selection of good dishes. They have the famous Strawberry Shortcake of Vizcos, combo meals of Good Taste, and a healthy menu of Oh My Gulay! You name it, they have everything you crave for.

Describing Baguio as a beautiful place is an understatement. Wherever you go, you are always surrounded by breath-taking highlands.

3. Cheap Finds
Some places offer a good and convenient experience but it always comes with a great price. Baguio is on a different point - you can have a full-out vacation here without breaking the bank. And additionally, no one leaves Baguio without a whole heap of pasalubong.
