  • Round trip tickets to Singapore for less than $100

    Times are tough and for most, travel is the last thing on their mind during a recession.

  • Thoughts on being a solo female traveler

  • Meet Viktor

    This is Viktor. He’s a Victorinox Sorbonne backpack. I met Viktor at Bratpack. I had just made the decision to go backpacking in Thailand, and I was antsy to start my preparations for the trip.

  • After the 2nd Philippine Blog Awards

    I was a mere spectator during the first Philippine Blog awards. I wasn’t even that interested in the local blog scene then. While the movers and shakers of the Philippine blogosphere was converging at the RCBC Tower for the awards night, I was busy catching up with friends, as I just arrived in Manila after…

  • I vote for Filipino Voices

    …because they sure as hell deserve it more than I do XD Believe me, it’s hard to choose among the 41 blogs competing for the award. I know this for a fact because I went through ALL 41 blogs. What won me over was Jester‘s entry on Sinfully Good Sex: So here we are going…
