Pinoy Adventurista is one of the top travel blogs in the Philippines with steady and consistent search engine-driven traffic that has put it among the “top travel blogs in the world.” It started out in 2005 as a personal blog of Mervin Marasigan where he shares his passion for travel and love for adventure and food until it evolved into a travel blog in 2009 that seeks to encourage more people to explore and travel the Philippines and destinations abroad. It shares travel experiences, hotels and resort reviews, travels guides and tips, and itineraries on different tourist and “off the beaten” destinations and became a “go-to” website for those who wish to travel around the Philippines and abroad

As a daring traveler, he aimed to set foot on all the provinces in the Philippines. On August 2013, his dream of visiting all the 81 provinces in the country has become a reality. He also aimed on visiting all the 10 ASEAN countries which he has fulfilled recently.

Taipei 101 is considered as one of the tallest buildings in the world. It actually held the record of being the "tallest building in the world" (with a height of 509.2 meters) from 2004 to 2010. As one of Taipei’s top attractions, it’s an architectural landmark you shouldn't miss when traveling to #Taiwan. 🇹🇼 . . If you're wondering where to get the best view of the city and of #Taipei101, I highly suggest that you climb the Elephant #Mountain. It requires a hike to the stairs that leads to a viewpoint where you will be greeted with an amazing view of Taipei City and the towering Taipei 101 dominating the city's #skyline. The best time to visit is during the late afternoon to catch the #sunset. . . This is our 2nd time to climb Elephant Mountain, and we’re so lucky to be rewarded with a beautiful sunset. ❤️
