Travel to Learn English
I recently read this infographic on learning English at the Kaplan International website. Infographic via the KIC Blog. The data is interesting. One of the reasons why foreigners prefer to travel to the Philippines is that majority of the Filipinos can easily converse in English. In fact, there are many Asians, Koreans in particular, … Continue reading
Travelers and their “Firsts”
It has taken me a few more days to put this together due to some late submissions and my increased work load in my day job. I couldn’t accommodate more submissions though because I have set a deadline. I hope you enjoy whatever I have compiled in this blog carnival for blogcarnival.com. What does it … Continue reading
Walking around Downtown LA solo
Traveling solo is not my gig, unless I am sent on a business trip. I am used to traveling alone but it was always for a meeting or when I had to go home. As much as possible, I prefer not to venture exploring various sights on my own because I didn’t see any enjoyment … Continue reading

First-time aboard Amtrak
I woke up one early June morning feeling restless. It was my last day in LA and I had to be in San Francisco before the day is over to catch my flight back to the Philippines. This was probably one of those moments when I wanted to do something outrageous and mind-boggling. Trying to … Continue reading
Review: First-time in Hilton SF
When it comes to hotel chains, the name Hilton is not unfamiliar to tourists. Not only because it’s a nice family name but also due to the brand image it has carved in the hotel industry. My first nights in the US, specifically in San Francisco, were spent in a cozy bed in Hilton San … Continue reading

Review: First-time in Farmerbrown
Farmerbrown. The name wasn’t familiar to me before until I encountered it and it definitely stuck in my memory bank. Not only was the place where I had my first dinner in San Francisco, if not in the USA, but how I got there was in itself an interesting tale. I was in this beautiful … Continue reading
First-time in San Mateo, CA
San Mateo is one of the suburbs near San Francisco. It’s 20-30 minutes away from downtown San Francisco and about 10 minutes away from SFO airport. I spent a good three hours in San Mateo. It was a small place but it was very welcoming to me. No intimidating skyscrapers in sight that would usually … Continue reading
First-time in LA

My good friend Cathy was kind enough to host me all throughout my LA trip right after the conference which I attended in San Francisco and take me to … Continue reading
