Welcome to my World of Personal Storytelling & Adventure

Hello and welcome! I’m a small-town Filipina writer who, years ago, set off on a grand travel adventure, leaving home to explore new horizons and cultural experiences. These days, I live in Norway with my wonderful Norwegian husband and our two beloved dogs. This site is my personal blog, a tapestry of literature, travel writing, hobbies, lifestyle reflections, culture, and storytelling.

I’m a devoted animal lover, though veganism isn’t in my wheelhouse (please be kind!). My love for nature, adventure, and self-expression fuels my writing, whether it’s through poetry, travel experiences, or personal musings.

In my younger days, I was always on the go—living life in the fast lane of adventure and exploration. Didn’t we all? That was my own interpretation of Oscar Wilde’s famous quote:

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, and that is all."

Now that I’m embracing slow living and mindful travel, that conviction still holds a special place in my heart—only with a touch more self-reflection and creativity. I truly believe that as we grow older, the best way to experience life’s beauty is like sipping fine wine: slowly, savoring every moment.

When the world feels overwhelming, I escape into nature’s embrace, with just my camping bag, notebook, and dogs for company. I seek solitude in the wilderness, finding inspiration in the quiet rustle of the wind, the crisp mountain air, and the untamed beauty of the outdoors.

There, I talk to my Border Collie and German Shepherd, weave stories about their little adventures, and even recite poems for their ever-enthusiastic ears. These moments fuel my passion for creative writing, poetry, and adventure blogging, as I capture life’s most raw and meaningful experiences through words.
