Born and raised in the modest town of Taytay in Rizal Province, I was fortunate to experience a beautiful balance of urban and rural life in the Philippines. Since 2013, I have been part of the travel and tourism industry, allowing me to travel to numerous provinces and be exposed to the diverse ways of living, cultures, and rich traditions of different Filipino communities. Beyond the beautiful islands, landscapes, and clear waters of our country, I have gained a deep appreciation for the warm hearts, kind smiles, and overwhelming hospitality of my fellow countrymen.

Our competent team is based in the spectacular islands of El Nido, Palawan.

As an avid travel enthusiast, I plunged into the world of travel immediately after graduating from college in 2018, stepping into the role of a trip planner. Southeast Asia is my favorite region! With personal visits from time to time, I gather rich experiences for travel in the countries of Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, and using these experiences to help travelers curate their trips to these destinations. Have you any plans to visit these destinations? Whether you're dreaming of a solo trip, a honeymoon holiday, or a local immersion, count on me to make it happen!

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Philippines

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?
Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
