    Hello everyone, I'm Jens, originally from Berlin, Germany.

    I've been in the Philippines more or less full time since late 2013. Just moved from Quezon City to the Dumaguete area last month with my gf and our son.

    After criss-crossing Luzon with our old Pajero for the last two years I'm looking forward to discovering Negros :smile:

    I'm not a diver but snorkeling is a must (is there a good place where I can buy my own gear here in town?). Apo Island, Siquijor...

    Also planning to check out the mountains, the twin lakes obviously, are there any other must-see places?

    I don't really do much in the way of water activities or beaches but I suspect you shouldn't have too much of a problem finding that type of equipment in Dumaguete. It might be better going to some of the more popular beach resorts, like Mike's Dauin Beach Resort in Dauin, to ask though.

    As for the lakes/waterfalls/hiking: that depends on your physical fitness level. It'd be a good idea to get an on-road-off-road bike as many of the nicer places are quite a bit of a drive and would be much easier having your own capable ride.
