What is Forever Bakasyonista?
Forever
Bakasyonista is an online journal of the author’s travel lifestyle as she moves
from place to place and pursues one adventure after another. More than serving
as a digital repository of her thoughts, it aims to illustrate the struggles
and the successes that she goes through in living a seemingly ideal lifestyle.
More so, it tries to dis-alienate her experiences from other people’s by means
of similar fears and motives.
The blog contains stories from the author’s perspective, told with utmost sincerity and from the soul, as well as trip itineraries and budgeting, and amateur photography. It attempts to portray travel not as a weekend escape to conquer a new destination but as a type of lifestyle to localize in different places.
The name of the blog alludes to the author’s ongoing mission of building such lifestyle sustainably – a sustainable travel lifestyle – wherein she aspires to be able to move between places as she please, planting and re-planting herself, as if on an unending vacation.

Who is the author?
The author is a twenty-something girl who spent most of her years in Manila but who grew up in different places. Equipped with a background in management and experience in market research, she recently committed to full-time travel and freelance work. She is able to maintain a travel lifestyle by assuming an online-based profession and by adhering to a strict daily budget.
Passionate about travel, she dreams not of setting foot in every country and continent but of immersing herself in different local cultures and authentic experiences. She aims to inspire people to pursue travel not to check destinations off a list but to go beyond their comfort zones.
She started off running after popular sightseeing spots but soon discovered off-the-beaten-path destinations and eventually resolved to seek out sites that are personally significant for her. Now, she finds more value than expected in every trip and would like to help other people discover the same.

Not everyone may know how and where to begin their own travels but with a little help, something meaningful can be achieved. This has always been the case for me and I would like to do the same to others. I hope you find this blog helpful and inspiring in some way. Feel free to send me a message for travel advice, tips, and consultations.
Warm regards,
