On why it's more fun in the Philippines

Although I was not born in the Philippines, it is the place I call home. I think the best way to kick-off a journey to self-discovery and world domination (kidding!) is to get to know where you're from.


I have done a fair bit of traveling around South East Asia and I must say that the Philippines is still #1. You can google fast facts about the Philippines, but here is my reason why the Philippines is awesome:

You can choose your own adventure


Whether you're a homebody, a mall rat, a scuba diver, a beach bum, a hiker or a foodie, you will always find a way to enrich those interests! I, myself, enjoy being all of these!

The Philippines is home to many malls, including the gigantic Mall of Asia. You can shop 'til you drop!
If you're looking for Nemo --- well, he's here!
We've got awesome beaches. You'll never get tired of Boracay's white beach!

There are so many mountains to climb! Here's me jumping for joy at Mt Pulag

On Travel


"Travel is a good way to learn and to overcome fears."
-Luis Rojas Marcos

If there's anything I am sure of, it's this -- I don't want to grow old living out of fear. I travel to recognise the limits of my humanity and to discover more of my self as I discover the world.

This blog is my way of learning and overcoming my fears. It's a journey across the world and a journey to find myself in the things that I see, hear and do.
