About Us We are from Australia and have been living and working in the Philippines for nine years. Janet is a fulltime artist, and John is an electronics engineer. This Philippines travel information is based on our personal experience, with contributions from our friends and colleagues. Our focus when traveling is food, art, culture and beauty. We always take a few books to read. We don't frequent highly priced resorts or hotels, nor do we travel on a shoestring. Our favorite destinations are Central/Northern Luzon and Palawan and we have been there countless times. Our Holiday Advice After some nine years in the Philippines, we have been to many disappointing "tourist destinations". Some places, presented as paradise, are almost the opposite.  One example is Lake Sebu in Mindanao There is a beautiful picture of it in the Lonely Planet guide.  Well, Janet went and it was a total disappointment. The lake has been turned into a commercial fish farm and it is not a safe to travel around there.  If you are considering the Philippines as a holiday location for the first time, just take our advice. Read our website. We have more than a few months worth of vacation here.....and adding. The information in this website is the advice we would give if you were a family member or friend looking to  have a great holiday in the Philippines.   Please post comments/questions to the Forum if possible. This allows others to benefit from the discussion. You can also contact us at  janetandjohn@travel-philippines.com
