In late 2006 I fulfilled a lifelong dream of traveling around the world by purchasing a one-way ticket to Cairo, Egypt. From there, I wandered through exotic lands, where I met many fascinating people and experiences amazing cultures.In less than three months I was able to cover not only Egypt, but Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines. Through the trip, I rediscovered my long pent up ambition to become a writer and photographer by "travel-blogging" my entire experience here at travelblog.org.

Good for you!
Kumusta ka! I am a friend of your cousin Jim, and I was born, raised and lived in the Philippines until my late teens. I grew up in Zambales province in the island of Luzon. I was in the island of Panay (for the first time) about this time in 1999 (last time I was visited). I went to Boracay and stayed a day and half there after visiting relatives in a town named Durog in Iloilo where my mom is from. Yes, the white sandy beach, the beautiful sunset, the boat ride there, the hut we rented for the night for about $25 then, the open air market, etc. What an experience for you! I tell my friends that I wish teenagers in the USA get the opportunity to travel in a developing country to see how lucky and fortunate they are over here compared to the kids over there. Enjoy the beauty of my home country. The Ati Atihan festival in Panay should be happening about now, right? Take care of yourself.
