ABOUT THE BLOG

Hello there, stranger! Welcome to my visual diary that showcases my love affair with life, culture, and the world. This space curates my penchant for substance travel and learning about the cultural nuances of society by meeting strangers and experiencing life through their eyes. It aims to embody the freedom of living and passionately chasing your dreams. It is about self-reflection and lessons learned, about feelings evoked by certain places and people, and about the girl growing up after each homecoming. I do hope that my photos and words inspire you to continuously explore, express, and live.

ABOUT THE GIRLFRIEND

I'm a photographer who has a knack for taking photos of strangers while exploring the world and finding love one city at a time. The handle, Globetrot Girlfriend came about as a jab at how I can never be the typical Instagram girlfriend who's always in front of the camera. So here I am, the atypical Instagram girlfriend who loves traveling with people I meet on the road and taking photos of them on our adventures. If you'd like to be my muse on one of my journeys across the world, drop me a message via email, Instagram, or Facebook. I'm always on a look out for awesome people to share shenanigans with who aren't too shy to be my momentary Insta-boyfriend/girlfriend.

ABOUT THE PHOTOJOURNALIST

I'm a self-proclaimed creative professional who has been a freelance photojournalist for 13 years. After years of being based in several cultural melting pots across Asia: Cebu (Philippines), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), China (Shanghai), and Jakarta (Indonesia) I remain passionate about lifestyle and documentary photography, specializing in on-location portraiture, current events, travel, and photo stories about strangers in their daily lives.

My work as a photojournalist is strikingly different from the photos on this blog and on Instagram. I enjoy using photos to tell stories of cultural nuances, mundanity and even sometimes revealing poverty and impunity, preserving them in perpetuity with my lens. My past work includes feature writing and travel photography for multiple publications, as well as composing press releases and copywriting for a wide variety of businesses and brands. At the age of 18, I managed my own column for a widely distributed local newspaper in the Philippines.
