What’s In My Bag? The Philippines Edition

I can’t believe the time has come for me to jet off to the Philippines, it seems like just yesterday I decided to take the plunge and book my airline ticket! Now despite the fact the weather is looking a bit (okay, a lot) rainy while I’m there, I’m determined to make the best of it. Here’s what’s in my bag for this trip! I found it a bit harder to pack this time around because half way through my trip I’ll be attending a travel conference (TBEX) and wanted to make sure I had more than just fitness clothes to wear while there!
