I have heard a lot of things about Chiang Mai because most of my friends have already been there, but to their surprise, I never actually put it on my to-go list. So with the uneventful flight, I have decided to take a bus to Chiang Mai and just see it for myself. About damn time, for sure. I checked into Thunderbird Hostel and I was not disappointed.…
Last weekend, I did something that I have never done before--never even thought I would ever do it, if I am going to be honest. What is it? Well, I did my very first hitchhiking experience. In Africa, at that.…
A few months ago, I came back to Manila. After months and months of travelling foreign cities, I finally came back to the city which I call 'mine'. I came back with the same thirst for adventures, so I went and did a little 'staycation' at my own city and stayed at Z Hostel.…
If you have been reading my blog for quite a while now, you would know that Thailand holds a very special part in my life. As you all know, this was the place where I started travelling for the very first time, and in this place, I have met life-long friends that I still cherish today.…

Well it is the first country that I ever visited without any company of my family--it was where my first adventure happened. I was just an 18-year old girl who has never flown out of the country alone, but I felt like I…
Earlier this year, I took another trip to the Philippines' Queen City of the South, Cebu City. I was called to go back there because I had to take my IELTS. It was rushed and very last minute because I had to submit my exam results to the university I was applying for in Canada. Yes, your home girl *might be going back to university next year! …
Here is something that most Filipino travellers dread: visa applications. It is true, applying and re-applying for visas can be dreadful, difficult and frustrating. Especially when you are a young digital nomad, like me. It takes energy, money and a whole lot of patience in order to deal with visa processing because we literally have a 50/50 chance of getting approved or denied.…
Early this year, I had the pleasure of going back to one of my favourite cities: Cebu City. It was one of the best times and I have met some of the most wonderful people. Not only that, I have been privileged to stay at one of the best (if not the best) hostel in the whole city, Hostel 7.…
