Oh my Guam, where have you been all my life? Who would ever thought of including this tiny island on your travel wishlist. What will you do on this island, (which for your information, is only a dot on the map)?
Where in the world is Guam?
Guam is an island territory of the United States situated in Micronesia, in the Western Pacific Ocean. A small island indeed. According to United States Census Bureau, the total population of Guam is only 160,000 – 26.3% of whom are Filipino.

I have never thought or expected that there are so many exciting things to do on this island until finally I, together with my family got to experience the thrill of it. As if we hit a “flock of birds” with one stone. In most cases, we found ourselves keep hopping all day as the hotel we were checked in was just a walking distance from the beach, malls, c-store and other attractions. In other words, you can get to a lot of places easily.
Moreso, this island is just three and a half hours away from Manila and if you’re lucky enough you can even book a flight with lowest fare BUT since this is under US territory, you need a US Visa in order for you to enter the island.
Thank you so much Guam Visitors Bureau for making this trip a memorable one.
True enough , once you visit this island , you will always be going back.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
With love from Guam,
