ABOUT


Hello there, fellow explorer! I'm Mae, the heart and soul (and sometimes, the beautiful chaos) behind Trip ni Menggay and I'm absolutely thrilled that you've stumbled upon this little corner of the internet. 

If you love discovering hidden gems, diving into local cultures, and finding joy in the littlest journey while witnessing life's overall crazy choices – then you've absolutely come to the right place!

my story - a lifelong wanderer, a budding writer

Trip ni Menggay is, and always will be, a forever work-in-progress passion project, a little sand in this vast island called web. Its lens and pens focus mainly on my forever messy life – specifically, my little travels, the amazing foods I encounter, and those sometimes bewildering, but always interesting, choices I make.

This tiny grain of sand is my earnest attempt at bringing life to a childhood dream: becoming a writer. While this space is often chaos personified, I sincerely hope it proves to be an interesting one! From the serene beaches of Batangas to the bustling streets of Manila, and beyond the shores of the Philippines to enchanting destinations like Cambodia and Thailand, my life has been a continuous quest for new experiences. It started as a personal journal, a space to document my travels, the breathtaking sights I encountered, and the delicious food I devoured. It quickly grew into something more – a platform to inspire, inform, and connect with fellow travelers who share my passion for exploration, even if it's a bit unconventional.

I truly believe that travel isn't just about seeing new places; it's about seeing life from a new perspective. It's about the stories we collect, the people we meet, and the moments that leave us breathless. Through my blog, I aim to bring these experiences to life for you, sharing honest insights, practical tips, and a generous sprinkle of my personal reflections and occasional mishaps.

what you'll find here:

  • Authentic Travel Diaries: Real-life accounts of my trips, from meticulous planning (or lack thereof) to spontaneous, often wild, detours.
  • Destination Guides: Practical advice, must-see spots, and local recommendations to help you navigate your own adventures in the Philippines and abroad.
  • Budget-Friendly Tips: Because unforgettable experiences don't always have to break the bank – and sometimes, my "crazy choices" involve finding the best deals!
  • Cultural Immersion: My take on local traditions, food, and the unique charm of each place I visit.
  • Photography & Visual Stories: A feast for your eyes with photos that capture the essence (and sometimes the humor) of my journeys.

Whether you have a question about a destination, a travel tip to share, or just want to say hello, feel free to drop a comment on my posts or reach out directly.

Happy Travels,
Menggay
