This was supposed to be a post that lists places I’ve ticked off my bucket list. But, as I was going through my travel photos, I realized that in 2013 alone, I was able to visit several places that were on my bucket list. Looking back, 2013 did turn out to be a year for travel: I visited the United States for the first time, and went to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, to boot. I visited places in the Philippines I’ve never been to before. And, I was able to return to some of my favorite places in and out of the country, like Hong Kong, Macau, Cebu, and even Tagaytay.

There are three weeks left to this year, and who knows, I just might visit more, and when that happens, I’ll just update this post. In the meantime, here’s a rundown of places I visited this year (so far; and hotels/resorts aren’t included or specified; however, should you decide to check out the places mentioned, click the hyperlinks on each place to search and book a hotel there):
