3 Tagaytay Traditions

Not yet official but…

The lowdown:

Is this a travel blog? In a way, yes. I’ve been lucky enough to see some awesome places, and I write about them here. But to be totally honest, 
I don’t travel often enough to deserve the title “travel blogger.” I have a job that lets me afford a vacation once or twice a year. So between vacations, 
I’ll write about the city I live in. So I guess this is part city blog, part travel blog. Oh, and I eat out a lot. There will be crappy food shots.

In the age of Buzzfeed quizzes, I should give full-disclosure on the kind of traveler I am to manage your expectations and whatnot. I am in my 30s,
and I work a lot. Enough that I like a nice bed when I’m on vacation. And a working shower, when possible. But I do like a good deal, and I don’t really splurge
 apart from a nice meal or two or three. I’m not above taking a taxi abroad when the occasion demands it. For two consecutive years, I spent a little time 
in Europe and stayed in hostels. Now I travel with a boyfriend when the stars align, so I mostly stay in hotels and AirBnbs. So, no, I am not going
to tell you to quit your job to travel (unless that’s what you want). Just a regular person trying to live a little. Hope you still want to read after this rambling disclaimer.
