So here’s the thing my classmates and I were so stressed during our bimonthly exams, so a week after it my friend May and her gang invited me to join their weekend getaway bound to South Cebu. Like them, I also want to jump on the water and breathe in fresh air so without any doubt I said YES. And because it’s the second time my friend May will go to Moalboal, Cebu she told us what to consider for our Pescador Island hopping and I’m so excited to share it with you now.

First, you need to have your MONEY. Well I guess this is a neccessity of course, it’s not easy to have a free getaway you know. So for our quick escape, it only costs us 800 pesos each because we are 6 people in a group. So better to have more people with you if you dont want to spend a lot of money. By the way we already put an allowance on this budget so that extra expenses won’t be a problem later.6C04ACD2-9870-465C-8DAF-35EFF4EF6C4C.jpeg

Second, your TRANSPORTATION. For us it was easy because my friend May has a car so we just have to fuel it up that costs us ₱700 back and forth ( ₱117 each). But don’t worry if you dont have a car, you can still go there via Bus. You just have to go to Cebu South bus terminal near Elizabeth Mall, Urgello St., Cebu City and take a bus going to Moalboal that will cost you ₱100 going there and another ₱100 going back to the City. And by the way we need a boat for our Island hopping that costs us ₱2,200 (in our case ₱2200/6= ₱367 each of us). It is a fixed rate so this is the time where you can save money if you are with a lot of people because a boat can accommodate 10 people so it will only cost you 220 each person. 0D220E24-C2A9-421E-B014-71BFD12D37F6.jpeg

Third, what to BRING.
a. You just need to bring ONE bag. Why one? Because As what I have seen with my classmate who brought a lot of bags, he didn’t really enjoyed that much because he was tired bringing his stuff here and there and everywhere so better bring one that will accommodate all of your stuff.
b. Bring what you really need. You dont need a lot of things in a quick escape you know. It’s just one day so bring the necessary things only. You only need few garments as you use it after enjoying the beach.
c. Bring a sunglass and a sunblock. Some people are not used with these things but for me I guess it is necessary because it is very sunny there and my eyes get easily irritated if it is too sunny. And of course you really need to protect your skin by applying sunblock.
d. Bring a camera. For us we rented an underwater camera for ₱300 because we wanted to capture our happy moments there and as a souvenir also. 14282FA5-8782-4F5B-9866-C32D06749859.jpeg

Fourth, your FOOD. This is necessary for all of us. So we brought some snacks with us. And for our lunch & dinner we are already included it on the said budget. It is convenient by the way to just eat on fast food chains. 79A8B36E-3A3B-495D-BC47-0C3DD0B123C6.jpeg

Fifth, YOURSELF. Always consider your health of course, you won’t enjoy a getaway if you’re sick. And the willingness to enjoy that beautiful escape is a must. 83FE86A7-35F2-48C3-919B-BBB5DC9D1039.jpeg

So here are the things you need to consider upon enjoying your quick getaway my friend. By the way it will take one and a half hour to reach Moalboal from Cebu City and you don’t need to be good at swimming because life jackets are provided. Hope you did learn something and hope you’ll make your planned getaway possible. Enjoy life and like us give yourself a reward like this for doing a great job. Surviving a stressful week is worth celebrating for. Well, it is healthy to enjoy life and to say no to free radicals caused by stress. Just comment below if you have some questions and I’m so happy to answer it. Have a nice day. God bless you! 💕

Love,
