Destinations
Meaningful travel guides—rooted in everyday life, not just sightseeing.
I’ve been traveling since I was 18. I lived in five countries (Philippines, Austria, Germany, USA and Colombia) and spent months living with locals in Sri Lanka, Jordan, Turkey, and Japan. I’ve explored 35+ countries and written nearly 100 guides to help you discover the world more intentionally, beyond the usual tourist trail.

Colombia was the first country I lived in outside the Philippines. I stayed for several months—long enough to learn Spanish and fall in love with the rhythm of daily life. That experience sparked my passion for living with locals for extended periods. Here are my travel guides inspired by those moments.
