Masbate Tourist Spots & Attractions: Day 1

Let me give you a quick background of how I got to the best tourist spots and attractions in Masbate.

Few days before my flight going to Masbate, I searched for places to visit. Listed some of the best tourist attractions from the province I gathered online.

Then I landed to a blog post telling about a ranch-like experience in a place called Sese Brahmans. Without having a second thought, I contacted the place and told them about my visit.

I sent a message to their Facebook Page – Sese Brahmans, without knowing that I was talking to Judge Sese’s daughter whose really kind. She then pointed me to talk to Sir Leo. And the rest is a history.

Sir Leo, together with a friend named OR helped me to get through with my itenirary decisions for the first day of my visit to Masbate. At my arrival, they welcomed me at the Moises R. Espinosa Airport with much cowboy pride and accommodating smiles. Sir Leo was with Bilog, as OR was dead tired the night before my arrival.

They handed me a cowboy hat, toured me in the city before we went to our destinations for the day. The car was playing country songs that made the mood for a ranch life more realistic. And I love country songs, which made me more relaxed while having conversation with them.

I’ve met new people even on the first day, there’s Sir Leo, Sir OR, Bilog and Vanessa. We went to places that made me feel at home even when i’m miles away from home.

As I’ve mentioned before, this is my first solo trip via plane and I was so proud of myself that I made the trip alone. It was hard as I really have trust issues with people I just met. But with these Masbateños, all my worries have gone. So, what are you waiting for? Book a flight or catch the bus ride now!
