I AM A FILIPINO
AND THIS IS MY STORY

Learn from Experiences and Adventures of Filipinos Around the Globe

OUR GREAT JOURNEYS

Be encouraged by the journeys we travelled.

I would like to inspire and share stories of Filipino challenges and dreams-turned-reality.
This platform will exhibit Filipino ingenuity, resilience and adaptability in every situation.

Let me share our struggles and encounters, our conquered fears, and our unfailing faith that moulded our dreams and influences our achievements to the most impossible destinations.

I would like to influence and bring out the best in Filipinos, create a community that are willing to share incredible experiences and turn these experiences into learnings and victory.

ARTS

Filipinos can be stereotyped as karaoke king and queens, but today many well-known talents have been rightfully placed in this industry. We are proud of that, and yes so much talents yet to be discovered. 

CULINARY

We embrace life and love with families and friends. And foods and drinks do connect and keep us together. Discover how we celebrate it around the globe as we quest for different cuisine.

TRAVEL

Never turn your back to the pristine beauty of our dear motherland, the Philippines. But make your travel experience a journey to remember. See far and wide destinations that you can put on your bucket list.

"Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honour."

Proverbs 21:22

Discover the world with us

Learn from our experiences as we relive our journeys together.

Meaningful and successful world exploration

Today, many Filipinos bravely migrated across the world and are known for wrestling different type of works to establishing the most talented and professional occupation. We have grown and positioned ourselves rightfully.

Whether overseas or home, Filipinos work, live and love in spirit.  We challenge ourselves but we face it with smile and determination. Our journeys are always part of our conversations… that we proudly share, listen to and learn from.
