Dear Multiply and real-life friends -
I have just added another job (but this is non-paying) on my career list: website column writer. (Is that the actual title? whatever... hehehe...) I'm super excited about this new adventure, and I hope we can go places together as I write about sights, sounds and the ins & outs of travelling. Below is my first article for World Class Filipino.
The site is on its beta-stage, but if you join now, we can grow together :)
Join and be proud to be a noy-pi! :)

When Reginn invited me to write for worldclassfilipino, I graciously accepted. I am not a professional travel writer, nor am I a professional traveller (though I think some of my friends would disagree). But I've always wanted to write about travel and travelling... where to go, what to see, where to stay... the stuff most travel sites are made of, except that the articles would be written from my perspective, from my personal experience.
For me, travelling is not a time to rest and take a leisurely vacation, but a chance for me to immerse myself in a new place, discover a new culture, try out a new language, interact with new people... and have my pictures taken in front of monuments, parks, museums, building facades and what-have-you that I had only previously read about in books or had only seen on TV.
The truth is, I love to travel on a budget. I have even travelled without a budget. I get thrilled about planning trips. I am an eager tourist who loves doing "the touristy thing" - trying to cram all the must-sees in the X number of days on my itinerary, but only after I've spent some time imbibing the sights, smells and sounds of a new place, or a new city. I itch to travel - with or without money, with or without a companion.
I hope we get to travel together - YOU and me - as I tell you about the places I've been to, or want to go to, and YOU as you share with me where you want to go or what you want to learn about more.
Now let's get those itchy feet walking... and let the journey begin!
