Kalinga, I love you and I hate you.

I love you for taking my breath away. You leave me breathless with your amazing rice terrace formation. Truly out of ordinary terraces I have seen so far.

I hate you for taking my breath away. Literally you leave me out of breath with your hard hike treks and never ending steps.

I’m still amazed with how simple the life here is. Locals were amazing and very welcoming. Great to experience first-hand the rich culture they have been preserved over time. Waking up to this view, aaahmazing!
