Thinking of moving to Hanoi? Then you must read this! When my visa expired, I knew I needed a new place to hop into. Since I was living on a budget, Hanoi became one of the options even though it wasn’t my ideal place. I found myself booking a flight to this city that I didn’t fall in love with on my first and second visits. The capital city of Vietnam, Hanoi has a population of over 9 million, half of which are motorcycles. Three out of 10 Vietnamese own a minimum of two motorcycles.
My life in Bangkok – short but sweet
My desire to get away from the stressful and uncomfortable situation in Manila led me to the decision to move to Bangkok.

We are always meant for something better when we travel – How Travel Changed my Life
“All I want is a decent job without having to leave my mom. Like that lady from our town. We take the same jeepney almost every day. She wears a nice simple uniform—neat with that embroidered company logo on the right chest. San Miguel Beer Corporation. I knew little about her. She doesn’t know me.” Those were the words I uttered as a reply to a family friend lawyer when we bumped into each other one hot summer day back in college.
