It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years.

The first visit I had booked at her Alona's Traditional Filipino Home Villa. The reason I liked this one is the house was in front of a beach front.
This is the view at night so different from what you normally see near the beach.
The second place I had tried is called, "Traditional Cottage Villa".
Here is a video clip I took of the Traditional Cottage Villa
