It’s a dream come true! When I was just starting out in travel blogging I use to wonder how to join Lakbay Norte. I’ve read how the legendary travel bloggers enjoyed it along with people from traditional media. Lakbay Norte is a media tour of North Luzon Philippines courtesy of The North Philippines Visitor Bureau (NPVB), a non-stock, non-profit organization founded by the Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC).
So when they opened the invite to Lakbay Norte 3 again to the new media last November, me and my Palaui travel buddies Angel and Edcel secretly talked about joining. Luckily, I was selected along with my friends : Angel Juarez of Lakwatsero, Marcos Carratao of Ambot-ah, Edcel Suyo of SoloflightED, James Betia of Journeying James and Christian Sangoyo of Lakad Pilipinas. Another blogger/writer friend Kara Santos of Sunday Inquirer Magazine will be joining , along with Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, Business Mirror, Travelife, Travel Plus, Asian Traveler, Cebu Pacific’s SMILE magazine, One Sport Magazine / One Radio, and Living Asia Channel.
Lakbay Norte with its tagline: Rediscover the North, aims to promote tourism in North and Central Luzon. Most of us who are based in Luzon seem to have taken for granted the allures of North Luzon. Oftentimes, when we plan for our vacation during holidays in the Philippines, we almost always look for tourists spot down South of the Philippines, we tend to ignore the scenic spots and outdoor adventures that North Luzon Philippines can also offer with just one bus ride away via Victory Liner!
To give you a teaser of this 9 day sponsored trip, it will involve a lot of outdoor activities and adventure sports like sports fishing in Nueva Ecija, karting in Tarlac, white water rafting in Kalinga, airsoft in Baguio, trekking in La Union, off -road adventure in Angeles, jungle survival in Subic, surfing in Pagudpod, paddle boarding at Paoay and river cruise in Pangasinan. You can also try these adventures sports over the weekends, your vacations or during holidays in the Philippines! Visit North Luzon!
