Approaching our destination, Palau! More specifically, the island of Koror

Great travel blog.

I have been to Palau twice for snorkeling. I’ll go back after I am open water dive certified. Palau is where you can live out a National Geographic dream adventure of your own. Short flight from Taiwan so don’t forget to stop by. :victory_hand::taiwan::heart::palau:
