(Okay, not really—I’m writing this in November 2025 because the excitement is too real.)

Salam wanderers! If you follow Yallah Ndoro, you already know how much I love chasing new horizons, meeting people from different cultures, and collecting stories that stay with you long after the trip ends. And now, I’m thrilled to share that our next big adventure is officially set: we’re heading to the Philippines in early 2026.

January is the perfect time to go—sunny skies, warm weather, and that tropical energy that makes you forget winter even exists. The Philippines has been calling us for years: more than 7,000 islands, turquoise water that looks unreal, food full of bold flavors, and some of the friendliest people anywhere. Filipinos have a special warmth, something that feels familiar to us Moroccans—easy smiles, big hospitality, and a love for music and celebration.

This trip isn’t just about beaches and palm trees. It’s about starting the new year with intention, slowing down after a busy 2025, and reconnecting with what matters: nature, culture, and the joy of discovering new places. We’ve been preparing mindfully—packing light, choosing eco-friendly options, supporting local communities, and staying curious every step of the way.

I can already imagine the moments waiting for us: sunrise reflections, shared meals with new friends, stories exchanged with strangers who feel like family, and those unexpected encounters that make travel so magical. That’s what Yallah Ndoro is all about—letting the world surprise us.

I can’t wait to bring you along for this journey with photos, videos, and real-time stories from the islands. Until then, keep exploring, keep dreaming, and yallah… the world is too beautiful to stay still.
