Take this book if you want to get lost

To say that majority of the "secret" places in this book are awe-inspiring for the rookie and the newbie kind is an understatement because even if you're a non-traveler, I guarantee that you will feel that urge to grab the rucksack and start writing that list of places-you-want-to-visit-before-you-die. You read it right---you can take this book if you want to get lost, and mind-blown at the same time!

I'm giving this collection a rating of 4.5 stars because the authors & editors themselves deserved it. The Sumaguing Cave in Sagada is a worthy inclusion but I just wish they added more historically-relevant but less-known places in the Philippines like the Pandanan Island shipwreck diving site near South Palawan or the Bequibel Midden Shell site in a quaint location in Butuan.
