Our New Journey

living to the fullest

Author: Coco

I have always loved traveling and travel often for work. But 2.5 years ago we moved to Manila and started to travel more for leisure.

This blog will record our journey in this new living style and my thoughts around it.

There was no clarity what does it mean? do I still have a job? do I need to move the family to another place? I chose to let the ideas settle … Continue reading I choose to trust →

Bests of our weekend

As I mentioned my weekend started on Friday as I worked from home. I really enjoyed reading this book with the view of our garden and pool. When I work from home, I usually grab whatever I can assemble for lunch with leftovers or freezer meals. This one had rice, beans, roasted veggies with tomato … Continue reading Bests of our weekend →
