Hamis hableány lettem
This essay, which I did for my Hungarian class, is a celebratory post in anticipation of further easing of travel restrictions, which could mean we will be getting more of our old, wanderlusting lives back. It is also a throwback to my carefree, brave, adventurous...
Manila is cool!
Manila has always gotten a bad rap in the tourism scene: too much traffic and pollution, too many people, blah blah blah. But as someone who was born and raised in the capital, I always go on the defensive whenever someone maligns Manila (especially if...
UST – Asia’s Oldest University: A video by Travis Kraft

Calaguas for newbies
I was in Calaguas recently and I would like to assure you that whatever raves you’ve heard of it, they are all TRUE! This place is truly awesome. In fact, it leapfrogged over Bohol and Boracay to claim the 2nd spot in my list of...
Calaguas: Paradise Found
It was 2 hours past my usual lunch time and I was starving. My Jollibee breakfast was already gone hours ago and my stomach was complaining. I was bitch-slapped by a huge wave that left me wet and cold. I was drenched from head to...
