IN THIS EPISODE:

TRIPPED finally arrives in South East Asia by kicking things off with a few weeks in Bohol Island, Philippines. Bohol is located just south of the city of Cebu. What’s on the bucket list for Bohol? Chocolate Hills and plenty of beach time!

Bohol Philippines is known best for being home to the Chocolate Hills. Over 1,500 brownish hills ripped straight from the screen of Super Mario World. Doesn’t sound exciting? Totally understand. It’s a bit tough to make hills sound thrilling, but these are easily the most interesting hills this planet has to offer.

Additionally, there's plenty of island to discover by scooter and the Diemers log in plenty of hours at Alona Beach while people try to sell them whale shark tours.

While at Chocolate Hills, the Diemers spy bikes floating through the sky E.T. style? Why is this? Chocolate Hills Adventure Park (CHAP) is located just short scooter ride away from the Chocolate Hills tourist spot and has ziplining, tree adventures, and the perhaps the coolest thing- a bike ride through the sky. Allison is brave enough to balance on two wheels while Tim meekly hides on the ground but offers to pilot the drone.

WE ARE FINALLY SWIMMING WITH WHALE SHARKS IN THE PHILIPPINES!
TRIPPED says goodbye to the island of Bohol and heads North to meet friends in the Philippine city of Cebu. After flying from the other side of the planet, little time is lost as the group of friends heads to Oslob to experience swimming with the whale sharks!

After a dip in the sea amidst drowning tourists and hand-fed whale sharks, the group departs for the second experience on their bucketlist: A swim at Tumalog Falls. To get to the falls, one only has to trust their life to one of the (I’m sure) very safe motorcycle taxis that speed balls out to the base of the waterfall.

If swimming with the largest fish in the world and purifying themselves in the azure waters of the Tumalog weren’t enough, the group caps the day with an afternoon spent on the private Sumilon Island. Sumilon Island is a paradise as long as you’re cool with paying $6 USD for a beer in the Philippines. Other than that option, guests can relax by the BlueWater Resort pool or go snorkeling near the white beach. We definitely got the best of all the worlds as prices to stay at the BlueWater resort are hundereds of US dollars but we got to use the facilities for the day as part of the Whale Shark tour package.

Continuing to kick things off the bucket list in the Philippines, the group heads to Coron Town to rent a boat for a day spent island hopping to such destinations as Coron Island, Barracuda Lake, Twin Lagoons, and Kayangan Lake.

After the best day of their lives spent island hopping, the group splits up in search of their own adventures.

Some head out to new depths to do some wreck diving around Akitsushima, Okikawa Maru and Irako. Others hire motorbikes and head for the west coast of Busuanga Island. Still others think the best way to spend the day is lounging by the pool at the Coron Westown Resort.

After the boys take off for Bangkok, the Diemers spend the night in a treehouse at Sanctuaria Treehouse.

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny.

We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test – one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.
