This year is about to end and while we are sad over so many travel plans that didn't materialize, we are also equally grateful that we are still here - alive. At this point, we can only hope that after all these, we come out of this as better people (better than our old selves) and with a new found appreciation for travel, time and space (and everything else). Part of this renewed perspective is being able to rethink the 'way' we travel while preparing for the next one. As we restart tourism, NOW (not later) is the perfect time to plug in sustainability in our travel habits.

There are four things I always look for when searching for an accommodation - safety, accessibility, affordability, and enough comfort.

That's pretty much an everyday scene at home with my then little… Continue reading Ten Things I Love About Tokyo

PLATES: Sagat Crust Food House
Most of my great food adventures and travel experiences were things I stumbled upon while searching for another. They're like bonus dishes offered to me while savoring the main course and I said, "Alright, I'll eat this a little later. Hold on!" Sagat Crust Food House is a similar encounter. It is located along National Highway… Continue reading PLATES: Sagat Crust Food House
