To be among the top 10 finalists, together with some of my favorite travel bloggers, was already a big surprise, so imagine how special it was for me to wake up one day to the news that I made it to the top 3! Yes, I was elated! The nomination and the 2nd Runner Up finish in the Philippine Skyscanner 2014 Bloscars Travel Award are great kickstarters for Backpacking Pilipinas, and I can feel that we're off to an awesome year ahead!
A month after the finalists were named, the Philippine Bloscars winner was announced last week via the Skyscanner's website. The winner was assessed by Skyscanner based on several criteria and the votes from the public.
