Cebu-Bohol “Backpacking” Experience

So I was supposed to go on a “backpacking” experience that would include Bohol, Malapascua, and Bantayan Islands but I only ended up in 2 destinations - Bohol and Cebu City. If you do think about it, it's just Bohol. Bantayan and Malapascua I had to forgo since I found out that I couldn’t do “backpacking”. Well I could, but I found out that I'm not a lone traveler. I like having company and someone to talk with. Talk about “backpacking” and checking into a hotel at the end of the day. I was sooo tired. I did lug around a very BIG and heavy backpack (lent to me by Manzay. Tenk you! Tenk you!). And I also went alone and made an acquaintance out of a stranger in the process. So give me some credit! :P The “backpacking” experience is not for the faint of heart and it’s definitely not for everyone. There is so much lacking when it comes to accommodation, facilities, transportation, and guides for backpackers. This was the first time I have ever backpacked in the Philippines and alone to boot. Below are my observations and tips below:
