"To feel at home, stay home. A foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It's designed to make its own people comfortable." -Clifton Fadiman

With its laid back atmosphere, friendly people, and English as its second official language, the Philippines is a great traveler's destination but somehow it has been overlooked for its other Asian neighbors. The Philippines is the only predominant Christian country in South East Asia with over 80% over adhering to Roman Catholicism. To many people the islands of the Philippines are a magical place and a well-kept secret for seasoned travelers.
