My first entry

I've always wanted to make a blog about my travels but procrastination has gotten the best of me. I wished for the longest time to have the will power to save all those precious memories I've written in my mind about all the places I've been to. I guess Confucius was right.. " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". And here I am finally making my first step. My husband has been pushing me to make a blog about our trips and this is my way of showing him that his suggestion was right.

I had always been a traveller. Even if my parents did not have a lot of money, I was able to see some parts of the Philippines as I was growing up . For the most part I only saw the Southern parts of the Archipelago. I was born in Bukidnon, raised in Cagayan de Oro City and moved back to Bohol when I was 15.  During college I would beg my older brother to give me some money so that I can visit him to Pagadian City. From there I have explored a lot of cities in Mindanao. When I turned 20 I decided to go to Laguna and start working. I made friends with a lot of people from different province. I explored Batangas, cities near Manila, Quezon province and most of the different cities in Laguna.

Few years ago I met my husband Joel and thats how my dream  all started to really unfold before my very own eyes, I will be seeing more than just the Philippines. He loves to travel and it has also became an important part of my life. Before I came to the US we have gone to Baguio, Boracay, Tagaytay, Cebu ,Dagupan and stayed a lot in Manila.

My first taste of another country I guess would be the US when I migrated here more than 5 years ago.  Like I once said I am one lucky girl who is given the opportunity and blessing from God to see parts of the world one country at a time. To date I have been to 6 countries and 7 states. Not bad huh? before the year end I will be seeing 6 more countries and I it still never fail to amaze me what kind of blessing God has bestowed to me. So my journey begun when I first visited Hongkong...
