I learned how to truly live on the road
Traveling transformed how I see life — and myself. If you’re looking for something deeper in your travels too, I’m here to help you begin that journey.
Hi, I’m Gladis!
full-time traveler, yoga teacher & writer
I’m the founder of Happiness on the Way, a blog dedicated to slow and soulful travel. I’ve been exploring the world since I was 18, visiting over 35 countries—all while having a Philippine passport!
But for me, travel is more than just a number. It’s a way of life. It’s taught me to be courageous, open, resourceful, and—most importantly—happy.
In 2024, I took the leap and began traveling full-time.
I’m on a mission to help you travel with intention—not to escape life, but to build one you don’t need a vacation from. Even if young, on a budget, or even with a “third-world” passport.
