2019 Travel Goals: Goodbye Solo Travels?
Man and just like that we are now at the second month for 2019! Wow, seems like January just passed by like a blink of an eye. And I am only able to talk about Erik the Hungry Traveller’s 2019 travel goals just this month – February. As an excuse (lol), I declare February as the start of the year and January being a 30 day free trial for the year. But seriously though the writers block and work got the best of me the past month. That’s right, writer’s block and adulting are both real. Had to do some writer’s block detoxification in order for me to get my…

My Solo Travel Experience: The Lies About Solo Traveling
Who takes your pictures while travelling? How much do you spend on your travels? Do you meet people while on solo travels? In a scale of 1-10 how was your solo travel experience? These are but a few of the most asked questions (at least for me) that my friends and family ask me when they see my travel photos on social media. Back in 2016 when I first started my solo travel experience I would answer all their questions enthusiastically and with gusto. Fast forward to 2018 you would see me eye roll when I hear those questions. I mean, imagine watching Game of Thrones episode 1 for 20…

Solo Travel in The Philippines: Why It Must Be Part of Your Bucket List
My solo travel in The Philippines started 2 years ago. It started with me quitting a daytime job that paid well but was too stressful for me to even stay for more than 1 year. During that time, I felt unaccomplished and a complete failure.

It was a round trip fare worth…
