Hello! I am Queenie Gumiran, a Philippine-based travel blogger, certified freediver, a storyteller and an advocate.

I stepped out of the threshold to explore the wonders of what’s dubbed as ‘Pearl of the Orient‘ has to offer. I met a lot of people, made new friends along the way, got oriented with different cultures and languages and tried food I have never tried before. I’ve done things I never thought I would do. My wandering sole brought me to places I’ve never thought of visiting. Philippines effortlessly made me fall in love with it. I was not even halfway of visiting its 83 provinces back then but I have fallen deeply, madly in love with its wonders.

The travel blogger in me puts the stories and beauty in words and share it to the world; because it’s only in this way that I could bring you to another dimension, take a journey with me. For several times, words would fail me. Those places left me speechless – lost in awe to the surreal escapism I had.
