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.

My love affair with travel began at home in the Philippines and grew through nearby countries where I could find $30 flights, eat a rice bowl for $1, and stay in hostels for $10. These guides will help you explore the continent I’ll always call home.

Europe has become my second home, thanks to my partner who’s from Germany. I spend about half the year living and traveling across the EU. Below, you’ll find my curated travel guides by country—filled with personal tips, itineraries, and stories.

North America
The USA was my longest backpacking trip—it lasted five months and I did it right after I quit my full-time job. That journey pushed me to get creative with how I traveled. I learned ways to explore the world for free or on a tight budget through volunteering, couchsurfing, and hitchhiking. Here, you’ll find my stories from the road and exactly how I made it all happen without spending a fortune.

South America
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 immersing in new cultures and living with locals for extended periods. Here are my travel guides for South America, inspired by those unforgettable moments.
