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 in Danao, Cebu
There I was again traveling alone. It usually happens whenever I travel for business wherein I would be left to my own devices.

Sometimes it sounded scary but I always … Continue reading

First-time in Tagaytay
This weekend I went to Tagaytay. Because I frequent Tagaytay a lot, I couldn’t remember the first time I visited this city. It’s about two hours from Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and its cool weather has made it an attractive place for a weekend getaway. Not only the cool breeze that draws tourists … Continue reading
