Why Travel
 Fishtail Mountain Base Camp Annapurna Himalayas, Nepal |
Now, in my late twenties, I realize the gravity of my passion. No longer are two-week vacations a year going to be enough. The world is too big to explore in such hurried pace. And I refused to accept that that was it, that I was never going to see worlds different from mine solely because convention states that I settle in some place, work my *ss off and constantly dream of travel 11.5 months of the year. Something has to be done. And if the universe won't bring it to me, then I'm doing it myself. So I decided to bite the bullet and backpack Asia for six months, possibly longer. I am going to make a lifestyle out of this. I began October 2011, traveling through Singapore, India, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam. Please allow me to share my passions as I am hoping it will fuel yours, too.
About MeI am a typical twenty-something Filipino born and bred in the big chaotic capital of Manila in the Philippines. I graduated with a journalism degree but never really had the urge to pursue the profession. Having discovered my linguistic abilities post-college, I became a language professional, creating materials for ESL students, mastering the Spanish language along the way. Now, I am a Spanish translator and will continue to be one, doing some writing and photographer gigs on the side, while I embark on the biggest adventure of my life thus far.
