The reality of it is that we're all still figuring out how to go about our lives every single day—there really is no better explanation for it. They don't teach you how to become a digital nomad in school, so this is something that you've got to learn as you go along the road. It's a bit daunting and it can be quite challenging, but it sure is…
Contrary to popular belief, digital nomads aren't really chill. Yes, it might seem like we're living the life (because we are), but at the end of the day, we're all still working. The only difference is that we've chosen not to be confined to the four walls of an office.…
I've lost count on how many carols I've listened to this morning alone. If you know me personally, then you probably know that I'll take any chance I get to celebrate any occasion. Obviously, this is a special one since it's the birth of Jesus and this is the first time I'll be spending Christmas here at home in ages...well, okay, maybe in three years. Still, ages.…
It’s no secret that I’m a workaholic. I don’t really like to admit it because I also like to have fun, but I’m starting to realise the truth that I really am obsessed with working. What can I do? I need to work in order to afford the lifestyle that I have, and in order to afford living in different countries. However, how does one find the perfect…
Last April, I got back to the Philippines after a long journey from Colombia. Both countries are on the opposite sides of the hemisphere, and it's been such a tough time accepting that my South American journey was over. Just like that, it was done, and I was home. I kept on asking myself how this happened, but it's life. Sometimes the journey comes into an unexpected halt.…
There are people in my life whom I considered to be some of my 'greatest friends'. These are people whom, I think, would have my back...or would even bail me out when worst comes to worst. But lately it got me thinking, would I really trust them with that one phone call to bail me out or would they not have my back after all?…
Yesterday my family and I were supposed to go out for dinner. But then my brother screamed as soon as we locked the house, "No! My face mask!" Ah, face masks. Then I realised that this was our new 'normal'.…
I have always been keen about turning older, and have not really mind ageing at all. Honestly, birthdays are not a thing in our family. There are no cakes, no cards, and no spectacles. Albeit growing up without the excitement to look forward to as we turn another year older, I will always be excited when it comes to birthdays.…
On the day that I was born, the first people who ever saw me were the three most important women in my life: my mother, and my two grandmothers. I was surrounded by women for ever since I could remember.…
The thought of being in a new country is very mind blowing to me, and the thought of living with complete strangers sort of excites me. I know, I am weird, whatever. Honestly, who knows who I will end up living with? Would they be nice, strange, exciting, rude or cheerful? I could use up all the adjectives in the dictionary, but still have no clue whatsoever.…
