(And actually really similar to something I want to do one day too!) If you're into travel books, I'd recommend reading 'Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven' by Susan Jane Gilman. A really fascinating read about Gilman's backpacking trip in China with her friend when it really wasn't common for a lot of foreigners to go through there, and the really extreme culture shock and breakdown that her friend has.

Coron for the snorkeling and diving, El Nido for the beaches (and camping in them!). When are you planning to come to the Philippines? Depending on when you're going, you might want to watch a local festival. It gets mighty crowded though, but the energy is like nothing else! Happy to see Philippines in your list!

Had been advised against it in Jan which is a shame. Enjoy!
