We only ever remember stories. This is true when it comes to new places we visit, experiences we try, people we meet, products we use. If you want to build something that’s truly viral you have to create a total mindfuck experience.

Taipei, Taiwan, July 2016 – Here is a rewind from over a year ago, when Filipinos still needed a visa to go to Taiwan. As of September this year, we can already visit visa-free, as you may know, which makes it a bit easier to go these days. I followed Paula in Taipei and we went around […]

Chamonix, France – What I enjoyed most about Switzerland is being just half a tourist. Since I was staying at Rica’s home, I can take my time and change plans with no pressure. I was thinking of exploring the Swiss alps which they said was one of most gorgeous places in that part of the […]

I wanted to see how much discipline I can enforce upon myself either by detoxifying from something I have become addicted to (ex. social media) or adding a habit to my daily routine (ex. journal writing). When it comes to food, I’ve explored […]

And it truly made me want to pause, step back, and think about how I can think bigger. Actually, it made me […]
Bern, Switzerland, October 3, 2016 – Euro Trip Day 2 There are way too many beautiful places to go in Switzerland that choosing which ones to visit throughout my stay was a tough job. I read about the city of Bern. The historic old town became a UNESCO world heritage site in 1983. The internet […]
Vevey, Switzerland, October 2, 2016 – Euro Trip Day 1 It was the beginning of a 3-week trip around Europe, and I flew in alone to Geneva on the first leg. Vevey was about an hour away from the international airport, and I opted to take the train. It was plain dark outside the window the […]
