The ten reasons are then 10 pictures that communicate the raw beauty and joy of everyday life in this country. These pictures were previously posted publicly on my Instagram account (andrerodrigueslopes) and specifically with the Hashtag #thereislifeinthephilippines.

Hi there fellow traveller, I am André, the Product Manager of Myboracayguide.com. I don’t usually blog but this time I needed to ask the My Boracay Guide team in charge of the blog to let me give my testimonial as a recent convert to to growing group of lovers of the Philippines!

Being a Millennial (Born in the 80’s) I’m also a fan of communicating via different means. Until the age of 20 that meant SMS + Snail Mail, today its a mix of several chat clients, Skype and.. most recently.. Instagram and almost purely image based communication (not a Snapchat fan though!).

So my top 10 Pictures which I hope will entice you to travel and dive into the many beauties of this incredible country:

1. You will find the beach you dreamt about and you will doubt that you are awake!
