Getting marked by her is not just a tattoo, it’s becoming part of a living legend. On my Hero Xpulse 200, I journeyed through rice terraces, winding mountain roads, and hidden villages until I finally arrived at this once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is more than travel. This is history, culture, and tradition inked into the skin. Special thanks to Hero MotoCorp Philippines for supporting this ride with the powerful and reliable Hero Xpulse 200 4V – the perfect bike to go anywhere, even off the beaten path. 🔔 Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE for more epic rides and travel stories! 🚀 #BikerGirl #PhilippineLoop #MotorcycleAdventure #HeroXpulse2004V #HeroSquad #HeroMotoCorpPH #GoAnywhere 📍 Route: Sagada (Mountain Province) to Buscalan (Kalinga) 📱 Stay connected and updated: Follow me on Instagram and TikTok for more behind-the-scenes content and updates: [instagram.com/lucydopolis] [tiktok.com/@lucydopolis] 💥 Check out my travel merch: T-shirts & more: Europe: [https://lucydopolisdesigns.etsy.com ] US: [https://lucydopolis.etsy.com ] 💰 Support my channel: If you'd like to support my work, feel free to buy me a coffee: [https://buymeacoffee.com/lucydopolis ] Support me on Patreon: [https://www.patreon.com/c/Lucydopolis?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink ] Media and Business Contact: lucydopolis@outlook.com
