The best travel experiences in this day and age don’t need to cost a small fortune. If you know where to look, you’ll be able to book quality/top-notch accommodations and experiences that are worth way more than the amount you’ll shell out.

Z Hostel: HQ Of Good vibes
Tired and Bedraggled. We trudged up Z Hostel’s entrance stairs and into its spacious lobby. Not far behind me and my 6 year-old Luna was Dong of Eskapo, lugging our 75L hybrid pack. He waited three hours at the airport for our arrival. No, our flight from Cebu wasn’t that delayed, but delayed enough for…
Crown Regency Hotel Makati: Layover HQ
The silent, deserted lobby of Crown Regency Plaza Hotel Makati was a refuge. We had just come from a battle with the traffic congestion just outside Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at an ungodly hour. Like, 2:00 AM ungodly. Our little travel tribe (plus my mum who picked us up from the airport in…
Belmont Hotel Manila: Luxe Transit
Off a delayed flight from Australia and out of the arrivals hall, I stepped into familiar smell and familiar heat. I was surrounded by familiar noise. Manila may be hectic and chaotic, but I terribly missed it. It’s home. I’d visit any chance I get, even if it’s just a 20-hour layover. And this was…
Fond Farewell To Pre-School Nomadism
33 countries under her teeny crocheted belt. Some people think that, for her age, it ain’t nothing but a number.

She can’t remember the tens of airports she passed through (though the memory lingers briefly for she’s got a photographic…
Simplé Lang, Makati, Philippines: Not Plain Simple
I am currently sulking in my Australian woman cave because my shire’s summer has decided to act like me during that time of the month: Intensely moody. Don’t get me wrong, I love bed weather days. What I don’t like is having the craving for Filipino food, especially when I’m 6,000+ kilometers away from home…

Museum Cafe (M Cafe), Makati, Philippines
Outside, slate grey clouds hovered above Makati’s skyline. Gusts of wind here and there were unusually nippy, late morn. Inside Museum Cafe, it was warm with giggles from soul/sole mates I had missed during my half-a-year, three-continent backpacking trip. Museum Cafe, or M Cafe, was buzzing on a Saturday. We were seated on a long…
