When I was preparing for our trip to Morocco, I read the  trip notes that Intrepid Travel provided to get a sense of what to look forward to.  As detailed and comprehensive as the itinerary was on paper, the actual experience of participating in the activities was still something I wasn’t fully prepared for nor expected, in the […]

Growing up Catholic in the Philippines, I was exposed to the rich traditions of the religious seasons.

5 Reasons Why Travel Should Be A Priority In Your Life

February 19, 2015 by viajerafilipina Leave a Comment

Frequent travelers are often asked how they can afford to travel as often as they do.  Travel, after all, is typically seen as a luxuriously indulgent endeavor that only those with a lot of extra money lying around after all the bills have been paid can dare to consider.

Chasing Waterfalls: My 2014 Travel Retrospective

  At the start of 2014, I had no idea that my travel plans for the year would involve going against TLC’s lyrical advice about chasing waterfalls.
