During my most recent trip to Thailand, I had the privilege of learning how to cook some of Thailand’s traditional dishes. Of course, this included my favourite; Thai Papaya Salad. Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy was so gracious to welcome me into their kitchen and teach me how to cook their country’s dishes. Thai Cuisine is, most definitely, in the top three of my favourite cuisines in the world.…
To be honest, I am not your typical traveller. I mean, I also love going to popular cities like Paris or London or Bangkok. But these cities do not force me to come out of my shell nor of my comfort zone. These cities are beautiful, yes, but they are quite pricey and very popular. Again, these are spectacular cities, but they do not force me to come…
Honestly, I have not been feeling my best in the past couple of weeks. My anxiety has been slowly coming back, and it has been crippling me and my work. Normally, I would just brush it off and hope for the best, but this past anxiety attack was a tad bit different. It had been the worst, to say the least.…
Every single time that I would say that I am from the Philippines, the follow-up question is always: "Wow, which part is your favourite?" This question is, then, followed by a shrug. I mean, we have more than 7,107 islands so you could imagine the difficulty choosing. But since this is an on-going question, I have finally decided to list up my favourite spots!…

But lo and behold, I had been so sick of home the very moment I got back. You see, this is the traveller’s curse. There will never be…

"Why won't you go with other people? Isn't it sad going all by yourself?" These are questions that people always, always ask me. For the longest time, my answer to this would be just to shrug and say, "I don't know." But in reality, I perfectly know why I go and explore alone. I know, and today, I'm telling you my side of the story.…
A few months ago, I have had the pleasure of visiting one of the most amazing cities ever: Istanbul. I came from Paris and flew directly to Istanbul. Now I have always been dreaming of coming to this historically beautiful city, so it has been such a dream come true to finally be able to do it! First order of business? Food, naturally.…
Growing up, I had also thought that this was the case for me. My musical taste ranges from the 60's to the 80's, and I had been so jealous of all the people who had gone to the infamous, Woodstock Festival. I was born nearly 30 years late, but it had still made a huge impact in my life. But then again, I thought to myself, was I…
