    11 years, and I’m still wandering

    I can vaguely remember now how it all started, except that one day in January 2006, I woke up and decided to travel. It’s a decision that took me to so many incredible places, led me to unforgettable experiences, opened my eyes and my tastebuds to the wealth of flavors the world has to offer,…

  • 2013: The trips I never blogged about

    When writing my year end posts, I browse through my photo archive and my blog archive. I noticed that there’s a huge discrepancy between the two: there were plenty of photos, but hardly ever any blog posts. Cintai Corito’s Garden is made for relaxing Frankly, I am aghast at my laziness with my blogging, with…

  • Good night, Melbourne

    I’m counting down the hours until my departure in Australia. I’ll be flying out of the country at 10am, but I will start traveling at 3 o’clock in the morning. The trip home will take me the whole day, and if all three flights are on time, I will be in Manila as the clock…

  • Happy places, happy faces

    Back in 2006, I couldn’t think of anyone who would want to travel with me for two weeks in Thailand. That’s why I decided to go alone. I love the freedom of doing whatever I want when I travel, seeing only the places I’m really interested in, eating where ever and whatever I want. Traveling…

    Time flew by so fast, and I’m now celebrating seven years of travel blogging. Who’d have thought? Honestly. I started this blog just so I can share my thoughts and experiences about a trip. I wanted it to be a resource for other travelers who, like me, turn to the web to find any and…

  • It starts with a Bang…

  • 2012: A year of new experiences

    I started the year without any plans. I told myself I won’t be traveling much, since I have to save for bigger and longer trips, but life always has a way of diverting one to more exciting paths. Kalibo Ati-atihan First off, my friends and I got to see someone we’ve been fascinated with (me…

  • On turning six and new beginnings

    Six years. Imagine that. Who’d ever thought I’d stick long enough to one particular hobby to actually make it to a sixth year anniversary. I think I just may have found my passion. Traveling never gets old. At least for me. My decision to stay put in Manila instead of following the location independent nomads…

  • Let’s help build the Blogger House!

    Blogging and other forms of social media is a great way to share information. With our blogs, Facebook and Twitter, we can share our joys and lament our misfortune. In the recent years, we’ve witnessed how the online community banded together to report on the current state of the country after a typhoon has hit…
