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 blog! My main mission is to help people with time and budget constraints see the world by maximizing their limited time off. Everyone deserves to travel, so let me help you reach your travel goals! I hope you find my content helpful. In addition, I have some trip reports posted on the site that chronicle my travels around the world. Those posts are more for entertainment purposes, but I hope you can still find them helpful. Happy reading!
