Just notched up my final trip of the year... 27 countries and dozens of places in the States. This time it was the Philippines - my first visit, and a wonderful experience. I'm exhausted from flight, but very pleased with the trip itself. Incredibly geographically complex, with over 7,000 islands and 170 different languages, the Philippines sit at the apex of two key human migratory events.
