MY STORY

So you’ve found my posts helpful enough to wonder who I am. That, or you want to know if this guy you’re about to get travel advice from is legit. Either way, let me answer your thoughts and tell you a bit about myself.

STEPHEN FLORES

Writer & Traveler

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. My love for travel started in a very unlikely place: Disney theme parks! I went to Hong Kong Disneyland at the ripe age of 9 and since then I was hooked. I have gone on to visit every Disney theme park in the world, visiting my 12th and final park, Shanghai Disneyland, in 2019. As I grew older, however, I found my wanderlust wandering away from these parks and to the world as a whole. This was exacerbated by my semester abroad in France in 2017. During that 5 month program, I visited 30 different countries. I was bit by the travel bug, and there was no going back. Since then, I have been to 40 countries spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and North America, and one of my goals is to visit every country in the world! Other facts about me: I’m a huge TV obsessor and have completed watching over 100 TV shows. I love musical theater and have musical albums constantly playing in the background. I’m a Youtuber (follow the link below to see my videos) and Podcaster and enjoy writing (obviously), hiking, and stuffing my face with carbonara pasta. I graduated from Ateneo de Manila University with a degree in Business Management, graduating from the Honors Program. And I guess that’s all you need to know about me! Welcome to my site! I hope you find my content helpful. Happy reading!
