He is my Schoolmate, College friend, and Officemate and eventually we ended being in each other arms lol.
But of course, every couple wants to travel luckily it was a mutual decision that we decided to do it too.
Travel Life: Both Manila Based, On our first trip we overspent..On our second trip, we splurge on accommodation.
Traveling on a budget seems our goal but the outcome always the opposite but as we go on we have learned to appreciate to travel DIY (Do it Your Own) instead. We learned to stay on pension house, homestay, hostel and even Bus Terminal. Try extreme activities, Tasted different kinds of foods and ride crazy mode of transportation but it the end Together we learned every step of the way.
“We travel because we’d rather look back at our life saying,
‘we can’t believe we did that’instead of ‘If only if we had…” 👣✈️🚤🚌
So let us inspire you to travel at your own pace at your own time one province at a time. Tara Let’s G?

Questions you might wanted to ask us? (We answer it here)
Why did you start this blog?
Similar to other travel blogs, we initially decided to document our travels and share them. Our goal is to explore the Philippines first, joining the bandwagon of #Project81 and #PinasMuna, which represent the 81 provinces of our home country. We believe we aren’t just born to pay bills and die. We’re not rich; we travel on a budget. We aim to make this blog straightforward and informative. We are not professional writers, photographers, or travel filmmakers… at least not yet.
But everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Are you rich or something?
We believe traveling is a privilege, not for everyone. Everyone has different priorities, and travel is one of ours. As we mentioned, we travel on a budget.
How can I start to travel?
First, make your parents proud by finishing your studies and helping them as much as you can. Real talk: You should work hard initially to fund your travels! Look for another income source, reserve an emergency fund, and start that Travel Fund. Never borrow money just to travel – it’s a big NO NO! Don’t rush! Good things come to those who wait. Your time will come.
