To my dear fellow Filipinos,
“If you were given an all-expense-paid trip to any place in the world, where would you go?”
That was the exact question that started my talk on budget travel last October 15 when I was invited as a resource speaker for Take the Risk, an Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) held at the University of the Philippines Diliman organized by the , which aims to teach students about budget travel, backpacking, and hiking with travel bloggers as teachers for a day. While I gave tips on how to make budget travel possible, the heart and soul of my talk was my #PhilippinesFirst advocacy- to inspire Filipinos to explore more of the Philippines.
