    Hello,

    Yes I'm based in France but I lived in the Philippines for 1 year and half. I hope to be based there one day :)
    Actually I'm developing an itinerary application to assist tourists to travel in the Philippines.

    If you know people who can assist me knowing the different itineraries in the Philippines, the help is very welcome.
    You can take a look here : http://www.philippines-holidays.com/project-itinapp/

    Thanks ;)
    Julien.

      Hi Julien,

      That's great! What partnership are you looking for in particular? Travel agencies? Let me know. =)

      Hi,

      Not really a partnership, something more like people who desire to share their travel experience in Philippines and report me some itineraries they did with the cost and travel duration details so I can add it on my application.

      I do it on my spare time and I just want to share the different possibilities of itinerary available in your wonderful country :)
