What are your travel plans for 2013?
This special feature is brought to you in part by Deal Grocer. Start the year right at the Taal Vista Hotel, yes? So we survived another year, and it’s time to look towards another year of fun and travel. I don’t really have anything major planned for 2013 yet, but I’m hoping to start it…

What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?
This special feature is brought to you in part by Deal Grocer. Two years ago, friends and I came upon two great value deals and welcomed 2011 with an NYE countdown party at the Sofitel, and staying overnight at the Manila Hotel. We’re thinking of doing it again this year, and I’ve been looking at…

Give the gift of travel from Deal Grocer
This special feature is brought to you in part by Deal Grocer. Whenever Christmas comes around, traffic in Metro Manila gets even worse than it already is.

Myanmar, Morocco and Japan in Color
So Paul tagged me for this contest. I’m not much of a contest joiner, but I have this compulsion to do these tagging things whenever I’m tagged. I figured it’s a good time as any to post something not sponsored on my now very neglected blog. Blue Spring, which is usually around March to May,…

Muji’s new Smart Travel items
This is an advertorial I’ve always loved and lauded Muji’s travel items, so I’m delighted to find out that they’re expanding their range of travel items. Among their new products, my wish list/to-buy includes: Shrink Wrap Shirt. A shirt that’s meant to be worn wrinkled. I like that. No need to worry about creases in…

USNS Mercy
As a traveler, I’m very interested with different forms of transportation. I’ve ridden a dromedary in the Sahara Desert, temple-hopped on a horse cart in Bagan, flew over Melbourne on a hot air balloon, crossed Manila Bay on a naval ship to Corregidor. One of the more interesting vessel I’ve been on was the Oberon-class…
