This #Philippines travel map is currently circulating in social web. I even found it in the #fediverse.

Basically, it is a map which allows you to mark how many Philippine provinces you have visited. You can mark a province as “passed”, “alighted”, “visited”, “stayed”, and “lived”, other than the default “never been there”. It then gives you a score.

You don't have to worry if you are not familiar with #Philippine #geography, as the web app will show a pop-up with a name of the province.

The only catch, it counts independent cities as part of the province it used to belong to. For example, #Angeles City has been an independent city for years now, which means they are no longer under, and no longer belong to, the Province of #Pampanga.

If one wants to be 100% accurate, the source code is available at: https://github.com/denzdelvillar/philippine-map-app

It was inspired by the #Japan travel #map located here: https://zhung.com.tw/japanex/

So, what's your score? Mine is a shameful 57. I'm still a foreigner in my own country. ^_^;;

@youronlyone I think this is mine... But I will do much more driving this year so the map will expand quite a bit :D

@gpowerf I've been always thinking if a camper van lifestyle would work in our country. Our islands are largely disconnected, and if I'm not mistaken, not every island have a ferry for vehicles.

Be safe in your travels! It's always awesome to visit new places. ^^

@youronlyone well you could stick to one island at a time. There's so much to see in Luzon alone!

I don't know about van life, but people in the Philippines do build overland rigs and I've seen pages discussing various overland adventures there :)

As for van life, a simply HiAce build would be very anonymous and relatively affordable. Here in the UK we mostly explore the country with a pickup (Isuzu D-Max) and a tent... so no winter exploring.
