Have you tried joining a walking tour? When we visited Melbourne, Sydney, and Taipei we had a wonderful time joining a walking tour of four hours visiting different tourist destinations and iconic landmarks.

However, it was winter time when we visited Australia and did the walking tour. Same in Taipei, it was cold and even raining when we joined a group for a walking tour so we did not really experienced the heat and sweat going around the city. In Manila, if you join a tour especially during the summer time make sure to bring extra clothes, wipes and umbrella. Sometimes, the heat of the sun during summer in Manila could be irritating and exhausting so make sure to bring a bottle of cold water. It's hard to stay and look fresh and tidy all day while traveling especially under the heat of the sun.
Last week, we rediscovered Pampanga aboard the Scania Marco Polo bus. Because it's December, the weather is cold especially in the morning and late afternoon. We visited many historical sites and some famous Kapampangan places.
We started at Alviz Farm, a beautiful and refreshing place in Sta Rita, Pampanga. The farm is also known for its delicious Kapampangan dishes but one thing that we were excited about was the duman served with hot tsokolate.
Apart from the delicious food, Alviz Farm is famous for their Instagrammable bougainvillea flowers. The farm house was surrounded with variety of plants but the bougainvillea is the favorite among many travelers and guests.
From Alviz farm, we went to the Guillermo Church, the church that is buried in lahar then the old train station in San Fernando, Pampanga.
How to Look and Feel Fresh When Traveling
Take a good shower or bathe before heading to a long trip. Prepare your skin from sun damage. I have a routine skin care - cleanse, toner, moisturizer. Currently, I'm using Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser and I'm loving how it removes dirt and makeup.
| Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser: Wash face with water and use the right amount of Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser, gently massaging in circular motion. Rinse and pat dry.  |

For sunscreen, I am using Althea's Petal Sun Velvet.
It was a long day in Pampanga. By twelve noon, it started to feel hot and dry. Good thing I brought along facial towel, the Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser and of course my new scent from Althea, the Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist made in collaboration with Titi Kamal, an Indonesian singer and actress.
