What makes this blog post different from my usual #TheSoloDrifter stories about my travels abroad and local adventures? I’ve been celebrating Chinese New Year in Binondo’s Chinatown for five years, but this year – I went to Sagada! With Kyle and Jerald! And why #TheTrappedDrifter this time? Let’s wait for Jerald’s vlog, you’ll find out! …
I came from an average income earning family, living far away from my university and always making every second count through constantly striving to succeed.
