Explore With MeI am Going to Seek a Great Perhaps: My Bravest & Boldest Move Yet
Early this year, I've decided to leave the Philippines for a while to travel and live in New Zealand for one year. If someone asks me how I dared to take this leap of faith into the unknown and where I got the crazy courage to do such an epic decision, here’s what I would tell: I simply followed my heart. Read about my bravest and boldest move yet...
Know MoreMabuhay! I'm so happy you are here!
My name is Ninay a.ka. Girl Chasing Sunshine. Small-town girl from the Philippines. Proud probinsyana. Pinay wanderer. Bubbly to the bones. Tala Queen. Endless dreamer. In 2006, I left my hometown in Zambales to study in Manila. I’ve been independent since then—I went on to take a full-time job whilst traveling locally and abroad every now and then. This year, I’m taking another leap of faith. I found the crazy courage to do something outrageous and epic: I quit my job and left everything comfortable behind to travel and live in New Zealand on a one-year working holiday visa!
