I've been married to my favorite travel partner, Matthew, since 2022. We tied the knot in Tulum—sun, sea, and the kind of magic you never forget.

The hardest part about traveling? Leaving my beagle, Stella. She's equal parts cuddle bug and drama queen—with a nose for mischief.

I’m originally from the Philippines and moved to the U.S. at 10. I was raised by a single dad who inspired my love for travel. I hope to one day visit all the places he once did—some of which I’ve only seen in his old photo albums.

My ultimate travel staple? A good pair of linen pants. They've taken me from long-haul flights to beachside dinners without skipping a beat.

My favorite place in the world? Italy—always Italy. My husband and I keep going back every other year to explore new towns, chase pasta dreams, and pretend we live there (maybe one day we will).
