June 9, 2020Out of this list, I just realized we have been to only two places. Dubai has never attracted us much but surely Manila & Hong Kong is what we would love to check someday.

June 5, 2020Not a big fan of Dubai.. But Hong Kong is special to me.. One of the most diverse cities in Asia… Great food and some amazing hiking trails. Also, Bangkok would also be on our list.

June 1, 2020I’ve been to these 6 except for Dubai and Mumbai. So far, my favorite is Tokyo! There’s so much to see in Tokyo and I love Japan. I am from the Philippines, but from Cebu City. Compared to Manila, I think I prefer Cebu in general. I am yet to explore the rest! Hopefully, when the pandemic is over, I can travel again… <3
