Itinerary: Cloud 9, Siargao Island

Living in the city for the most part is suffocating and full of stress. Sometimes the best way to deal with
these things in life is to introduce one’s self to a new environment, an environment which one can relax
and divert his attention somewhere else. Going to the beach has always been considered as one of the
best ways to relax and unwind and I wouldn’t argue with it. The sound of crashing waves, the view of the
night sky by the shoreline, the intimate feeling you get as the sand touches your feet, these things never
fail to relieve me from the stress and frustrations that is inherent in living in the digital age. For this
project, my destination is a place called Cloud 9 which is located in Siargao Island.

Option 1: Travel By Air


Starting point: Bayabas Street, Brgy Mambaling, Cebu City

As a traveler, I want to witness first what sunset is like in Siargao, thus, I decided to book an early
afternoon flight so that I can reach my destination just before the sunset.
