Hi! I'm Justine. |
I'm a twenty-something, graphic designer, working for a company that requires us to complete at least 43 hours a week. That's 5 8-hr weekdays and 3 hrs on Saturdays. I live on my own with a humble wage, and my bills take up more than half of what I earn. I also pay for my insurance, my daily meals, twice a week sessions of Muay Thai, and random food trips with friends. Let me assure you that I've only started this travel lifestyle in late 2012. In 1 year, I've traveled to 3 countries:
Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Locally, I've been to long trips such as
Coron, La Union, Bicol, Puerto Princesa, and short trips to Baguio, Baler,
Bataan, Tagaytay, Pampanga, and
Batangas. And most importantly, I don't own a credit card.
