About Nina

Hello! Welcome to JustWandering.org.

Messy hair!Don’t be fooled; I’m not as well-traveled as you think. Well, I *have* gone to lots of places, but my list of places I haven’t been to is a lot longer.

I have lived in Manila all my life. My first long trip was probably a trip to my parent’s hometown in Bulusan, Sorsogon when I was only a year old. My first overseas trip, and the first time I ever rode an airplane was in 1995 to visit my sister who was then living in Jakarta, Indonesia. The first time I ever went out of the country alone was in 2000, on my first trip to Singapore to live with my brother for a month. The following day though, I was joined by my bestfriend who was in a different flight.

My first backpacking trip was to Cebu back in March 2006. It was a dry-run of my 2-week solo trip to Thailand and Singapore. Though both trips were memorable, the most unforgettable holiday is still the two weeks I spent in Boracay with my friends. Ah, Bora.

Last December 2006, I went on my first inter-continental trip: to Australia. While in Melbourne, I took a couple of weekends off to visit Sydney and the Gold Coast. I love it there and I can’t wait to go back.

When I’m not traveling, I like to catch up on my big pile of unread books, cook and bake comfort foods, and hoard Pinky Street dolls. When I get stressed, I hand code HTML and CSS (it’s therapeutic, really), and research and plan for my next destination.

I work at home as a Virtual Assistant. On the side, I maintain this blog, as well as a couple of other personal blogs. I am also a blogger for the Manila Metroblogs.

Just to let you know, I don’t get paid to write about airline promos, reviews and whatnots. I am not and never have been affiliated with ANY airline, hotel or resort.* Paid or sponsored entries are duly marked.

* Due to recent turn of events, I am now a part of the Seair Adventure Club, and I get free plane tickets to Seair’s destinations.

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
