    SSI Try Mermaid Experience with the Pinay Mermaid

    I was around six when I first saw the Disney movie, the Little Mermaid. Since then, I have always had mermaid daydreams even as a grown up! I took a step to realizing my mermaid dreams in 2017 when I first learned how to freedive and skindive. I was so close to it; exploring the deep, swimming with the marine creatures and feeling the ocean envelope me except that I am wearing bi-fins.

Fast forward to 2019, the bags have started showing signs of failing which put my things into risk. With that, I decided to get new bags for my adventures.

THE QUEEN’S ESCAPE

Hi! I am Queenie Anne Gumiran, the queen who escapes; a firm believer of the line, ‘we all deserve a little wanderlust‘. I started the Queen’s Escape travel blog to tell people a thousandfold stories about my motherland – that Philippines is more than just its pristine beaches and breathtaking summits. It aims to make the readers know about the best places to explore – both the world-renowned and the off the beaten path, how rich and diverse its culture is, how delectable the food is and more. More than these stories of wanders on a budget, The Queen’s Escape also tells stories of adventure on freediving and its advocacy, sustainable traveling.
