Most Memorable Travel Experience
My Mediterranean Cruise, I've won the jackpot price at the Royal Caribbean casino and bought my first rolex watch in Malta.

Pompeii in Italy,the view of Mt. Vesuvius, I am still very fascinated of how modern their world during those times and impressed with their ancient technology.

Spain,spent our day in Alicante, we did our long drive from Barcelona to Madrid with a rented van, this is where i started my Hard Rock Pin Collection.

Paris,France though i have the fear of height, i was able to go on top of the Eiffel Tower.

Peru,besides Machu Picchu, I loved the town of Cuzco, and miss the challenge of the Inka Trail.

Costa Rica for my first bungee jumping and river rafting. Meeting up with my Highschool Best friend after 10 years.Had a blast over here! loved the monastery restaurant

Bogota, Colombia walking through the largest salt cathedral in the world(cathedral de sal), and sticked my tongue out and tasted the cave

Lost a lot of things..my backpack, i left it on the plane, but the staff in the plane was kind enough to call and i recovered my stuff, left boxes of chocolates in Tabacon, Costa Rica, drop my oakley beanie in the plane. During our water sports, i drop my oakley shades $$,unable to recover it from the deep ocean, had my hena tattoo in Boracay, and i stained the linen,guess what! they have me paid the linens for 120$..that was a rip off from Nami Hotel...drop my LV wallet while jogging

Paid 1100$ for dinner at Masa's in SFO and 900$ in Tao at Manhattan

Stranded inside the plane for 8 hours, i've watched 2 movies, making us missed the first day of our tour in Egypt..that is so sad!

Got too sick in Thailand, good thing they have cipro in the pharmacy...but i love those green mango in the street...damn it!!

Dead Sea in Israel, as soon as i step out of the water,you feel that your skin is too moist and silky... and once you dip in the water, you don't feel the sand but instead the thick layers of salt

I love the feeling when I first step out of the plane and feel the new sense of adventure, you really do feel it in the air.

I love to see, feel, smell, hear and touch new places, there is no boring moment with my travel... each places is unique, and i avoid comparing one place to another

I believe in what Lao Tzu had said "a journey of a thousand miles begin with a simple step" and this has kept me going into travelling and live each day as if its my last...

I always consider travelling as an art, we get creative through our experience, from the time that we sat down the plane, the way we fit things to our luggage...that is truly an art!!!

a traveller should always displays flexibility and be respectful of things

Personally, i think travelling is like the food for the soul...it gives you the sense of satisfaction, pride, and achievements...

Everytime i travel, i always make sure that my country is always best represented, Golly...how i love the Philippines!!!

My checklist of countries that i need to travel:
Borabora
Nepal
Ecuador-galapagos island
Chile- Easter Island
