CAMERA equipment I use
**Canon Powershot N100 - amzn.to/2aEbDZS (affiliate)
A budget option I loved very much for my first year of travel vlogging.
** Sony RX100 mk4 - amzn.to/2awvMyn (affiliate)
Oh my, how I love this new camera! Use this one from the Batanes series (Philippines II) onwards.
** GoPro HERO4 Silver - amzn.to/2aEpnqy (affiliate)
I mainly use this camera for under water shots. Love the little screen at the back so your shots will not be a surprise till you're at your computer
** Joby Gorilla Pod - amzn.to/2aIFsJd (affiliate)
Small and compact, will stable shots. Love this mini tripod. Especially when traveling alone it's a great help.

I'm excited to exchange the cold Netherlands for the sunny Philippines.
And for those of you wondering where he is...... Sander woehoe!
But because Sander is busy, it will be only me. And you of course!
Welcome to... Coron.
Coron is the largest town on Busuanga. One of the northern most islands of Palawan. Wandering through the streets, you'll find a lot of these. Diveshops! On the 24th of september 1944 a dozen of Japanese ships were sunk by the Americans. As of today they became a tourist attraction, making Coron one of the best dive spots in the world.
But there is more to this islands than shipwrecks only. If you love some limestone goodness and sweet lakes, you won't be disappointed here. So...
Oh my god, I am simply in love with these surroundings. First place up is Twin Lagoon.
With that magic moment of the first jump in the water. Yes.....!
There are some beautiful white beaches in these surroundings. But let's check the under water life first!
the twin lagoons are two lagoons separated by high limestone cliffs. The hole is only accessible by lowtide - but there are alse these wooden stairs to enjoy the double view at all times.
Getting away from the boat a bit may give you some exersise going back. Yes, we made it!
At lease we really deserve some lunch now, right?
The food on tours like this is always very good. It's fresh, healthy and there is something for all to love. Plus, you get a good view on the side!
Our final spot for today is an all time favorite of mine. A little climb will reveal one of the cleanest lakes in Asia. But it's also very rewarding to look back.
The cristal clear waters offer an amazing visibility to this lake. Sometimes even up to 10 meters deep. It's a great refreshment after a day of salt water.
and thats the end of our stay in Coron. Next week we're up for an exciting island expedition from Coron to El Nido - so definitely stay around for that one! Thanx for watching. Doeg!
