Few more days before Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be shown in theaters and we are all still left hanging with so many questions from the film's final scene. It’s an iconic scene that’s even more intensified by the breathtaking view of the mysterious island that served as Luke's hideout. Rocky islands rising out of the sea - the perfect backdrop for the meeting of the two key characters of the film.

Last year, I had the chance to explore an island located at the northernmost part of the Philippines - Palaui. This island reminded me so much of Luke’s island. They share the same form and mystery. Luke’s island is actually a real island called Skellig Michael off the coast of Ireland. But we need not go to a galaxy far, far away or in this case, Ireland, to witness an equally spectacular view.

Visual Series 2 : Palaui

Palaui Island is a hidden gem located off the northernmost part of Cagayan Valley in the Philippines. One must brave the waves to get there. The waves were so big that I never really had the chance to pull out my camera and take pictures. Instead, I held on my seat really tight and prepared myself to anything that could happen.
