We always forget to travel light


Aug 18, 2021

Every time we pack we always try to limit our baggage but we still end up bringing a lot. But this is nothing compared to 25 to 30 years ago when I go back to Manila with a minimum of 4 big balikbayan boxes, sometimes 8. My father would be very worried how I would manage to lift and carry those heavy boxes. I was a lot younger then, kayang-kaya, ngayon I travel with my personal concierge who does the packing, taping, lifting, carrying. Kayang-kaya.
