  • Be a part of the Seair and Microtel Boracay Blogger’s tour!

    Whenever I post my travel expense post on a Seair destination, someone always ask in the comments why my tickets on Seair are free. That’s because I’m a part of the Seair Adventure Club. This is an exclusive club of Pinoy travel bloggers who get to travel and explore the different destinations that Seair fly…

  • Vietnamese Encounters

    I forgot about my hunger when I got off the taxi in front of my hotel in Hoi An. I was excited to be in a new place, and after checking in and dumping my things into my room, I was out in the streets, eager to explore. I turned left in a crucial intersection,…

  • Work and Play in Singapore

    Last Friday I found myself in the company of Filipino bloggers and Singaporean representatives of the Singapore Tourism Board and Contact Singapore.

The tickets I hoarded last year played a big part in keeping the budget low. For…

It gave me plenty of new ideas for when I have friends and family coming to visit. If you’re thinking of places…

  • Living la vida with Carlos and Imelda

    Let’s start the week right with a contest! Up for grabs is a free pass (for two!) to Carlos Celdran’s Living La Vida Imelda tour of the CCP Complex. Why don’t I have a photo of Carlos with the Imelda photo? Fail. I’ve done the Imelda tour last March and the Intramuros tour last April.…
