It’s my first desert experience. It was nothing short of amazing to see the tallest sand dunes in South America towering over the little oasis town of Huacachina.
Part of the tour was riding on an extreme dune buggy with a group of people, and zipping through the tall sand dunes!
I just wanted to share that our driver was also texting while driving… I am so glad we are still alive.
Such an amazing experience though, really love that Peru has different kinds of terrains we were able to explore.
At the end of the day, we were treated with our first desert sunset. I love the life we're building, Alex!
Took some time off work recently, and we were able to explore more of Puerto Vallarta with Alex’s sister, Olivia and her husband Jaron! The Laniers are in town and we couldn’t be more happy to have them with us!
We took them to all the good spots we found in PV, and basked in the sun! Alex also rented a car and we drove up to Sayulita, a smaller surf town that’s less than an hour away.
Unfortunately, I did almost drown but I am so thankful for Alex for saving me! Without him and the surfers around us that day, I would have definitely panicked and wouldn’t know what to do.
Sharing some photos from our sunny getaway!
Olivia and Alex
We have a photo together not taken by us! Thank you Olivia!
I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we were in Cartagena, Colombia and I haven’t posted photos yet!
It’s our first time being on the Caribbean, and exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site was just an experience I feel thankful for that Alex and I share!
Cartagena was founded in 1533 by the Spanish, so that's 12 years AFTER they were in the Philippines! Look at this awesome view of sea and city.
It’s been a while since my last update!
110 days to be exact.
We were in an amazing apartment overlooking the city and mountain view of San Jose, Costa Rica.
Since then, Alex and I have been to Los Angeles, Cancun, and now we are currently in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
It’s been great seeing my dad after 4 years! And of course I spent time with my 91 year old grandma who’s still winning over everyone in tongits. Being in LA really is a treat for me, I get to see amazing things, eat great food, and get to know my relatives a bit more! I haven’t posted about anything LA, so I’ll make it a point to gather my favorite photos soon.
I had my birthday recently, and it was amazing. Alex surprised me with a dinner at Elizabeth Taylor’s former residence here in PV.

Life has been amazing and I hope you are good, too.
I don’t update my Instagramas much as before, but here’s a link just in case you were wondering where we really are!
When we were in Cartagena, Colombia, we had the chance to dine at one of LATAM’s best restaurant, Celele.
It was a great experience that we wanted to do again, and so we had the bright idea of looking up top restaurants in the country we are in.
