We figured you folks would like to have a place where we can just gather around, sit down, have a cup of mountain tea with Yogurt House’s Hiker’s Delight on the sides. Obviously that’s not possible over the internet, but this should come close:
Say “Përshëndetje!” to the Visit Sagada Forum! (That’s Albanian, by the way. For no specific reason.)
Brought to you by the same wonderful people who created WordPress, the Visit Sagada Forum is powered by bbPress. If you have previously signed up with a Visit Sagada account, you’re good to go; otherwise, you can register here. Thanks to a little geek voodoo (which had me pulling my hair for a good few days trying to get it to work) the same user name and passwords will work between the forum and the blog. (note: changing your password for the blog will also change it for the forum)
A little bonus: Gravatar support is built right in! If you don’t have one yet, take that same email address you used for your Visit Sagada profile and sign right up with the good folks at Gravatar.
I have started an Introductions thread, so if you’re too shy to post a comment, please visit the forum and get postin’! Don’t limit yourself to the one thread that’s in there though; feel free to start one – questions, comments, anything you want featured on the site.
Best regards,
Master Chief-slash-Mr Producer
Jeff
UPDATE: I just realized why no one’s been posting – WordPress has not been email-ing the passwords for those who have signed up 
Indefinite hold on the forums I guess. Stay tuned

The Visit Sagada Team has been doing the rounds for this summer’s blog events. We’re aware that even if we’re getting decent hits from backpackers and travelers, we’re still fairly unknown among bloggers. To increase our visibility off-line, we’ve produced limited edition Visit Sagada stickers similar to the site badge (designed by Angel Juarez) that we use on our personal sites. We’ve given away close to a hundred stickers and we intend to bring a bunch of them to give away to the establishments in Sagada for their guests and visitors.

Aside from experiencing the beauty of Sagada, one of the best things that could come out of your backpacking sojourn is meeting great people who also love to appreciate the wonders of nature and the cultures of other people. If you’re going to Sagada, simply leave a comment here and tell us the duration of your stay. Hooking up with other groups and travelers could save you money for the tours and could also win you a friend for future trips.
We will be updating this post as the comments come. If you want to get in touch with any of the people on this entry, you email me and I will ask them if the other party is interested before I give you their contact details. We plan to incorporate this to our forum real soon.
PLEASE GO HERE TO INDICATE YOUR TRIP SPECIFICATIONS. Thank you. You may also click on the “discuss” button to chat with the other people browsing the page.

As it stands, our three commenters will not really see each other in Sagada. If you’re planning to go, post your tentative date of arrival and departure from Sagada.

Since there seems to be a bit of confusion, we’re coming on the record to say that we are not a travel Agency. Yes, we do offer plenty of suggestions on accommodations, countless e-mail advice (email me at benj [at]visitsagada [dot] com) itineraries and other things Sagada, but in the end, the idea here is we want backpackers and DIY travelers in planning their own Sagada getaway. We highly encourage you to do the same, but we also concede that there are people who would rather have a structured tour organized by someone else.
Good thing that I know someone who could handle these things. If you want a travel agency to map out your next trip to Sagada, Banaue, Bontoc or other nearby areas, you may consult with INAVTRAVEL. You can also inquire about their tour packages at inavtravel [at] yahoo [dot] com. I think this will be great for people in BIG groups. Please do tell them that you heard about them via VisitSagada.
But again, we cannot stress enough that we encourage you to backpack on your own. It will be more fun, trust us.
