Aklan is more than just home to the world-famous Boracay. The oldest province in the Philippines also boasts of rich, diverse culture and traditions waiting to be explored. So if you're traveling to Boracay for your summer vacation, it's worth taking a side trip to experience everything else Aklan has to offer.

How to go to Boracay from Caticlan? If you haven't been to the world-famous Boracay, it's recommended that you do a bit of research about traveling to and around the island. Know the ways to get to the airports and piers, the price range of air and land fares, and how to get around. Planning your itinerary well can help you save money, effort, and time. Here's your guide.

“Pics or it didn't happen.” This is the golden rule in social media. No wonder your traveler-friends keep, and flaunt, hundreds of photos on blogs, Instagram, and other platforms. Narcissistic or not, taking and posting photos of coffee shops, restaurants, and tourist destinations offer benefits to businesses and tourism. Before the advent of the Internet, people would need to buy travel magazines and subscribe to cable service for travel shows to know the next places to visit. Moreover, only establishments that could afford media mileage were able to reach out to people. Thanks to the Internet and social media platforms, a small juice stand in Boracay can advertise to travelers from various parts of the world.

Stress shouldn't be part of your daily life. Studies show that regular exposure to stress can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and premature death. “The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason, for example. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too,” the American Psychological Association warns.
