When I was 9 years old amidst the lonely island country of Papua New Guinea, all I did was write. My dream someday – it changed every week, depending on what was more interesting during that week – McClaud’s Daughters or The Third Watch.
This year, dreams have changed. From the huge, overwhelming dream of getting to every single province in the Philippines, I now dream of getting to every country in the world – including Guam.
Hell, that’s a lot to take in right? So at the moment, before my birthday, I’m considering a challenge to myself. Like many other travel bloggers, I would like to take on the 25 countries before 25 challenge. Entering my 22nd year soon, I am running out of time. That’s not going to get me down though. I am as competitive as the models in America’s Next Top Model and I am ready to take the challenge.
So, when I was invited by Heinz Tomato Ketchup and United Airlines to join their contest, I couldn’t resist their invitation. Besides, I was going to do so many things in Guam!
- Become friends with the underwater life in Guam.
Go one on one with fish in the sea in Guam
With their exceptionally clear and magnificent waters, Guam has an inviting variety of underwater creatures – from unspoiled coral reefs to shipwrecks during World War II, from magnificent dolphins to eventually becoming a fish in the sea after hours and hours of snorkeling. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to enjoy beautiful waters. Guam is the picture perfect place to be to enjoy underwater life.
- Get sunburned.
What’s a little sunburn when you’re enjoying the long stretches of white sands in Guam? Nothing! Gotta make sacrifices to enjoy your life, right? Between lazing in the sand, trying out various watersports and swimming – I bet I wouldn’t come out of this trip NOT sunburned.
Get sunburned
- Feel like I’m on Survivor.
So, I get a little hunger-crazy for adventure. And when I found out Guam has a large area of unexplored jungle with caves, waterfalls, beaches and World War II battlefields, I couldn’t help but include this in my list. What’s a trip without adventure? Imma discover Guam’s secrets one by one.
- Pretend I’m a model and a TV Travel host
Admit it. Everyone who loves to travel is a total camwhore and has a dream of hosting their own travel show. I’m one of them. In Guam’s engaging environment, gorgeous beaches, absolutely breathtaking hills and cliffs – I’d love to host my “own” travel show and have my own photoshoot. Who cares if I’m not any inch taller than 5”? I definitely don’t. Neither will anyone who sees my background.

I told myself:
One day, I’m going to take the world by storm.
Who knows? It might begin with Guam.

I’d like to visit Guam to explore about their culture because I read that like the Philippines, Guam was under the Spanish rule before Americans seized the territory. And I also want to visit Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica.
I’d like to visit Guam because I’ve never been there… yet. LOL. Seriously, I would like to explore the various towns and provinces in the Philippines before going elsewhere (read: other Asian countries). But then, it would really be nice to visit another country as beautiful as Guam. I really wish I could visit it this year !!!
I want to go to guam to see their beauty of nature, and that’s one of my dream places to visit.
I would love to visit Guam cause it seems really beautiful and magical!

I never thought that Guam could be this beautiful. Being a beach addict myself, I’d love to visit this country someday. Your 25 year challenge made me think, but I guess I’ll start with the Philippines first. I think I’m running of time though as I’m already 24. lol

I want to go to Guam because i have never been there yet at all. I heard that Guam is just like the Philippines. Beautiful sceneries and wonderful beaches. Aside from the fact that they are a lot of Filipinos there already. I dont have any out of the country experience and I know Guam can give me a trip to remember for the rest of my life.

I never had the chance or the money to travel outside the Philippines but I’d definitely love to see Guam! I’d love to see their beaches, go diving, meet the locals, taste their food!
I keep praying that I shall have the chance and the funds to finally travel outside the Philippines soon! 
It will feel like philipines as well but just a different location and aura. I’m hoping to give it a try

i’d love to go to guam and visit their pristine beaches..
I want to go to their beaches!
I want to go to Guam to know more about Guam especially since it is connected somehow in our Philippine history. I want to know the specific historic spots where this or that person stepped on or any remnants of the war. I’m not a history geek but I was really fascinated when I saw these relics at Pearl Harbor and Corregidor.
I want to go to Guam simply becaus it’s one of the dream destination of a beach lover like me.
They say Guam is just like USA but less glamorous. I wanna experience that.

I never been to Guam and Id like to check out the beaches!
I haven’t been to Guam, but my long lost Ninang lives there. And I heard a lot of good stuff about the place. The two lovers point caught my interest– such a legendary love stroy. And the beach bars they say are a must-go. And lastly, I wanna take a plunge on their famous Cocos island and just enjoy the sun.
