Kiki Deere first visited the Philippines in 2003 and has returned time and time again to explore more of this incredibly diverse archipelago. She has traveled extensively throughout the country--among her favorite spots are the mystical Cordilleras with their ancient rice terraces that weave around the mountainside, and the awe-inspiring limestone formations that rise dramatically from the crystal-clear waters of Palawan. <p/>She has written dozens of guidebooks, including The Rough Guide to the Philippines and The Rough Guide to Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and regularly writes for magazines on a number of destinations worldwide.
