The dark clouds, wind, and rain may not have given us the Batanes of postcards but we found our own sunshine.☀️ It was gloomy yet ethereal. Like Game of Thrones but happy.😁 And still incredibly beautiful.

The Ivatans are like the Wakandans of the Philippines. Model citizens with an incredible sense of community.🙅🏾‍♀️ #lodi#batanesforever

Our guide was the best! If you ever need one, contact Leif Gonzales at 09297169785.

@aldrinjohngonzales (not related to our guide lol) took these awesome raw photos that made our battle with the elements look effortless. We didn't really want a prenup shoot but a trip to Batanes demanded one.😅 Thanks for making it possible.

Thank you to the rest of the group who were game to put up with the cheese, took awesome phone pics, and put the fun in this wild ride.❤ Thank you to @mytravease for organizing this whole thing and letting me take the credit. Lol.
