ASIA, MY CONTINENT
The first time I ever left the comforts of my own country was in 2010. Before late 2011, I had only been to Vietnam, Cambodia and China. Three countries in less than a year! And here I am right on my six-month Asian backpacking adventure. Imagine that. My journey started October 2011. I'm halfway through and I've already covered Singapore, India, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam (see Part 01 of my six-month backpacking itinerary). I have not finished sharing my photos and stories from the trip. Most definitely not. Do check back or subscribe to this site as I share my adventures and photos from the continent of my birth.

IN FOCUS: THE PHILIPPINES
It is only appropriate that a traveler begin his journeys in his own country. This is true in my case. Lucky for me, my country is composed of 7,107 of the most beautiful tropical islands in the world. I have been to quite a few places around the Philippines. Not as much as some people I know but it's good enough. Besides, I have a lifetime to travel to each of these islands. But for now, here is a map showing which places in my country I have set foot on, my Lakbayan* map.

* Lakbayan is a Filipino portmanteau of the words Lakbay (which means Travel) and Bayan (which means Nation). You can create your own Lakbayan map, too! Just go to Lakbayan! Kudos to its genius creator Eugene Villar.
