"Fall seven times, get up eight." -Confucius
I'm Franxine, a jolly, empathetic, and somewhat creative girl. My interests in travelling sparked when I was only 7 years old. I got a taste of what it felt like to leave home to explore parts of the world unknown to me. My very first destination is the place I now call home, the United States. My former home was in the Philippines, but I had to leave when I was 10 to live with my mom who worked as a nurse. Ever since then, I gained a sense of thrill whenever I rode a plane or a car knowing I'm headed towards a new and beautiful place.
I've made trips around the country every now and then with my mother. Back in 2009, however, I was able to go back to the Philippines and spend an entire summer there. While there, my mother and aunt planned for the family to go to Hong Kong! I, along with my cousins, was so excited! It was an experience of a lifetime. Ever since then, I wanted to see every country in every continent and experience all the different cultures that make that country special.
I've recently developed a new hobby: photography. I love to take pictures of whatever I can find. My desire to photograph all sorts of beautiful scenery added to the desire to travel. I want to show the world how beautiful each country is through my photographs and through my own eyes.
