I think I have been writing about a lot of places outside Cagayan de Oro, now I think it’s the right time to share with you the beauty of my very own city, Cagayan de Oro City.

Actually, I came from Bukidnon, but I started to live in this city when I studied college, until I landed a job, got married, and eventually settled here for good.

Anyhow this is not going to be a story of my life but this blog will focus on the wonders Cagayan de Oro could offer to its visitors.
