One of the perks of my job is being able to travel to different places. Pictured below is Mount Muhabura as seen from a village in Kisoro District, Uganda. It lies along the border of Uganda and Rwanda. According to my Ugandan colleague, the name Muhabura means “The Guide” in the local language. It can be seen from different parts of the country because of … Continue reading Mount Muhabura | Uganda
As the only OFW of our highschool barkada, I don’t get to go to 90% of the gala. May it be a hike, beach trip or just a coffee shop hangout. There was a point in my life that I feel alienated from my friends. I left every group chat. I felt alone. I was alone. Then this July Saigon trip happened. This trip is … Continue reading Saigon Travel Experience

I love to travel but traveling in Uganda is so stressful. There’s … Continue reading Through The Lens: Hopia, Mani, Popcorn

As of writing, … Continue reading NEW SERIES! NEW SERIES!
I’ve been planning this Christmas/New Year trip since I arrived in Uganda six months ago. With my current work permit, I can just go to Kenya or Rwanda whenever I please because it will be visa free and I only need an Interstate pass. By October, I already booked my accommodation and plotted my itinerary. Come December, I encountered a couple of hiccups mostly brought … Continue reading Rwanda: The Land of a Thousand Hills
If you are following me on Instagram, you should know that I love taking long walks and street photography has a special place in my heart. One of the main reasons why I chose Nairobi, Kenya for my Christmas Vacation is to explore the city and venture to street photography more. But what happened yesterday made me realize things. I can see you Kylie Jenner … Continue reading Scammed in Nairobi, Kenya: Photographers Beware
Well not really because I believe what I have doesn’t need any fixing. Also, why fix if it’s not broken in the first place. Okay. I’m lost with that train of thought. Five months ago, I got the chance to attend a Coldplay concert in Taiwan. Why did I end up in Taiwan you may ask? Welcome to this roller coaster ride to Taiwan. Actually … Continue reading Coldplay Fixed Me
