The best thing about traveling, is wanting to travel more.

Fueling the wanderlust in me, I make it a point to visit a “new” local and foreign place yearly. The travel bug hit me as soon as I got out of university.

Here, I summarize the places I have been (or will be going) to outside of the homes I made in Metro Manila and Naga City. In the future, when I get tired or jaded (not!), this will remind me of why I travel: to learn and relearn, to grow as a person, to challenge myself, and to nurture an appreciation of both the world outside our safety zone and the familiar bed back home.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
