Thank you, TarShare!

FlipFlopTours

Formed by Anna Dawson, a Kiwi who fell in love with the Philippines and has been based here, working and volunteering since 2008. What started off as a tour company is now focussed on encouraging more people to stay with Filipino families as they travel through the country. The experience is more genuine, and the family will benefit from the income.

Flip Flop’s homestay register originated in Bohol (Panglao, Balicasag Island, Cabilao Island, Loboc, and Anda) and has expanded to Port Barton and Cuyo Island in Palawan, Malapascua Island, Bantayan Island, Caticlan, and recently in Siargao.
The concept is simple:
• 600p/double room/night – 300P paid direct to the homestay owner, 300P paid online to instantly secure your accommodation.
• Spend your tourism dollars wisely and give back to local communities as you travel. Experience more from meeting locals.
• Stay in local style accommodation and live the daily life of many great Filipinos. We don’t sugar coat our accommodation – it is basic, but the experience is enriching. We believe that true travel makes you a better person.
• 50P/person for breakfast, 100P/person for lunch or dinner for a home-cooked meal eaten with the family (optional).

Huge congrats to our friend Nikki Scott who has written a book about her journey starting the South East Asia Backpacker magazine, as well as a South American equivalent. Nikki visited us in 2012 and she talks about her experiences in the Philippines in the book. Nikki's a legend and an inspiration and if you're thinking of starting a travel business in Asia then this would be an awesome read.

Written on chicken buses, trains, boats and in beach bars all across Southeast Asia, this is the story of how a 23-year old English backpacker set up the first print magazine for independent travellers in Southeast Asia. From inexperienced backpacker in Nepal to established publisher in Thailand,...

If you don't have the budget yet nor the time to travel to another country, start with baby steps. Try a weekend getaway or go on that road trip that you've been planning for the longest time. Even a small change of scenery recharges our brain. :)
