As a female driver, I've realized a long time ago that navigating the crazy streets of Manila is an exercise in patience and courage. However, we have also no choice but to adopt the attitude 'take it or leave it!' I have to admit that the stress of the rush hour and driving the distance from the south to center of Manila (and vice versa) made me resign from my corporate job last year.

Taal Volcano DIY tour : a great day trip outside Manila
It's been a loooong time since I climbed Taal Volcano. Make it close to 20 years! Manilans like us just go to Tagaytay for the cool weather and to try out the restos.
