Just personal drivels, might or might not be useful. Curious adventurer- near and far. Rooted in the #Philippines, but I also call #Doha and #Colombia home.

Thank you! And yep, might try that as well. Only problem is that the flash will definitely stun people and disrupt.

You literally had to ask for directions, struggle with language, and sometimes maps had to be manually drawn on a scrap of paper by helpful strangers. If you didn't find your way and miss the last bus, then you'd have to stay another night. Those days were fun.

2. PAKISTAN. Oh, my trip wasn't even half-done yet but was already crying. The experience was just so pure and raw. Didn't want to leave.

3. BERLIN. Bag got stolen, and lost my teddy that I'd traveled with for years.

Drama queen much? LOL.

I guess it helped that I made it a real priority early on (a clear vision in my head) and things just worked out to make traveling possible. Frugality- where it made sense- also helped. So, it goes with some sacrifice and compromise.

And, oh, merry Christmas! And wishing you a great year ahead! :)

Thank you! :) And totally agree about storytelling. So many times I hesitated to share photos I truly love just because of slight "clarity" issue. I let that hold me back instead of focusing on what I wanted to show. But I care less and less about it now, and just let a photo tell the story anyway.

Another misty view from the fortress. The smudge on my lens is noticeable here- right in the middle of the frame. Still looks all right to me.

Hard to say. I appreciate all the places I've visited for different reasons. But definitely Pakistan, Syria and Colombia rank high in my list. :)

And what's in yours?

(And oh, didn't mean to make it sound grander than it actually is. :D)
