As an avid traveler, I’ll share some of my best experiences probably the most beautiful, memorable travels of my life. The one that I’m going to share with you is my trip to Baguio with my family. Baguio is known as the ‘City of Pines’ due to its abundance of pine trees, which thrive in its cool mountain climate.

We rented a family sized Airbnb and stayed for 2 days to explore Baguio City even it is our third time there. We enjoyed our time there to have an quick escape from the city to have family time just enjoyi...
