As much as I love living abroad, there are also some cons to it. Yes, living in New York has been quite a dream--challenging, but still a dream. I have worked so hard to get here, and prior to this moment were countless years of dreaming about what it would feel actually be here.…
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…
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!…
On my very first trip abroad, I had been a very young and seemingly clueless traveller. I had no prior travel experience and I had no idea what to do. On this very trip, I had been very home sick. 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…
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.…
Since the Philippines is soon being occupied by a lot of Chinese (loooooool), I’ve figured I should share how I applied and got my Chinese Visa. So a few weeks ago, I had a ridiculously long layover in Chengdu, China. For this layover, I had to get a Chinese Transit Visa. I applied at the Chinese Embassy in Manila, and surprisingly, the visa procedure was pretty swift. Since…
After a few months, I have finally had the time to post the remaining photographs from my most recent trip to Morocco. So here you have it, the second part to my travel diary for Morocco!…
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Now, Palawan is one of the more popular islands in the Philippines because of its crystal clear waters and natural sea resources. Since every time people get shocked that I have not yet been to Palawan, I have made it a mission this year to finally go. And I went, and it had been amazing!…
Morocco is a wonderful country that, most definitely, has captured my heart. I loved every bit of my time in there, and I am already dreaming about coming back. In this blog post, I will be posting mainly photographs from my most recent trip to Morocco. The first part of this photo diary series is going to be about Casablanca, Taroundant, Agadir, and Taghazout.…
I could only write about the longing that I am feeling for Chefchaouen, because that is all there is to do. Yesterday, I left with a heavy heart and an even heavier appreciation for the world. Almost two months had flown by and I hardly even noticed.…
