I love traveling and I love to take photos of where I have been. Add my job as a freelance writer, it’s very nice to share to my audience places that I have visited like telling a story. And as we know, traveling is also costly with me saving for some time to travel to other parts of my country.
By the way, I’m in a mission to explore my country–with more than 7,000 island, I wish to visit all the provinces in the Philippines. I want to explore Luzon like Ilocos, Mountain Province,Batangas and Batanes. Palawan is still in my wishlist. For Mindanao, I wish to visit Davao and Siargao.
With this, I aim to become a travel writer. There was a time that I woke up with an idea of having a travel site- specifically targeting our local tourism. There are many places in my country that I still have to explore and so many things to improve to make my country attractive to other tourists. I’m still getting some information on how to become one.
What I have started though is writing web content articles for a traveling agencies covering European destinations. Also, I’m now a member of an online travel magazine; I still have to start my travel blog in that website as well as submitting my articles.
With this, I have this illusion of getting VIP treatment from a resort that I’m going to feature in my article. If you have any ideas on how to become a travel writer, please share it with me. In my Twitter, I twitted how I’m dying to become a travel writer. It may not be very easy especially that I have a toddler who is going to school this year.
But to have a trip and an assignment to finish once in a while sounds perfect for me…

hello sis,
i also consider myself as a coffee addict. i have a full time job in a government office, i study part-time for my master’s in UP and i also write content articles part-time. on top of it all i am a long-distance single mom.
it’s a bit hard to decide on traveling when i really have to put home-bound vacations on top of other places i wish to visit so i can just spend time with my son. but hopefully when he grows a little older, i’d be taking him with me on my trips.
Hi Cotton,
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate that. Actually, I just returned to traveling now that my son is bigger. I used to bring him along when he was still a baby, but it was exhausting for both of us. Now that he is older with a very reliable babysitter, I can spend overnight without any worries–but not longer than that too! 🙂
By the way, you are such a busy girl! You really coffee to perk you up..:-), I admire women like you who have a career and not afraid of change and open to challenges…
God Bless sis!
