Nafplio, Greece: The Most Romantic Destination in Greece On our last full day in Greece, we decided to do a full-day trip to Nafplio (in Peloponessse) with our Welcome Pickup Driver and new friend, Nikos. Nikos is the very first Greek who welcomed us and showed us around Athens. He is fun and has a […]
Greece Travel: Hydra, Poros and Aegina Day Cruise from Athens When we flew from Manila to Athens, we had one free column in our itinerary that was unfilled with no plans. Knowing @rodelflordeliz who cannot stay in one place for a long time, he asked me if we are good to take on an island–hopping day […]
When I saw the photos of suspended monasteries in Meteora, Greece, I knew I had to go and visit. It looks mysterious and mythical, and somewhat familiar as the place has served as an inspiration for the fictional city of Eyrie in Game of Thrones. Meteora is declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. […]
We visited the place on Earth where man is closest to God according to ancient times. During our Schengen Visa Application for Greece, we made a promise to the consul that we would visit other places in Greece other than Athens. I felt that we have a commitment to her. While Rodel and I were […]

Now I understand why KDrama Fans are dying to visit Korea. I felt the same excitement when we arrived at PS Bubu Cafe. PS Bubu Cafe is a car-themed cafe in Taipei which is also the shoot location for Taiwan Series, Meteor Garden. This is where Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si had their first […]
Taiwan Travel | Flying Lantern at Shifen Old Street Flying a lantern is one of the must-do things when visiting Taiwan. We included this in our itinerary despite the fact that it is quite impossible to squeeze all activities on our last day. From Jiufen, we took a bus going to Pingxi Line, and rode […]
I remember my friend once asked me what my ultimate bucket list is. I told her I don’t make a list because I do not want to disappoint myself. She said that there must be something that I really want to do. Before the year ends, I realized that I always wanted to celebrate or […]
When I got off the bus in Jiufen Station, I was certain that Rodel was just right behind me. It was a different face that smiled at me when I looked back. I searched for him and found him (still) inside the bus looking for something (must be the Easy Card). I stayed at the […]
