About

A travel blog that inspires you to design your own vacations just the way you want it.  For the past 20 years, I’ve designed and arranged trips, vacation and experiences for clients and friends when I had a travel agency back in the Philippines. It’s always been such fun helping other women with their trips. Must be because I have 6 sisters, went to all-girls schools and that most of my clients  and colleagues have always been women.

This blog is a woman’s source of inspiration when passionately planning her next trip – do-it-yourself itineraries for women by women.

Get away from it all, discover destinations and yourself, find your treasures within, laugh boisterously, eat to your heart’s content, escape and experiment, be with the ones you love,  live life to the fullest!

I gave up the marvelous chaos of Manila and have been living the tranquil country life in the Netherlands with my husband and two teenage sons for a few years now. Home cooked meals, cycling in the countryside, and weekend markets have replaced my former hectic life as General Manager of a travel agency, organizing and leading tour groups to Europe, the United States and Asia, and ballroom dancing ’til dawn with girlfriends (now this, I miss!).

When not online, I cycle if the sun shines, take country walks to pick and identify herbs, rummage through antiques and second hand stuff and junk at flea markets, hang out with my hubby and two teenage sons, or enjoy days out and short trips with my precious girlfriends.
