Rent an RV
It had never occurred to me that one can rent a trailer or RV just like one rents a room in someone's home. It wasn't until I starting writing on UpWork that I realized that people can rent trailers and RV's for trips. This is a clever idea for both the owner and renter. I owned a popup trailer with my husband when the kids were little. The trailer spent most of it's time in the garage. If we were lucky, we took the kids camping a few weekends out of the year.

My Christmas in Palma De Mallorca
This year for Christmas, I spent the holiday in Spain. I landed four days before the big day and being pessimistic I packed lots of jumpers and a huge trench coach, in disbelief that the weather would be this gorgeous.

Reality RV
It's everyone's dream to sell everything you own and travel this beautiful country in an RV. No clocks or time constraints. Nowhere in particular that you need to be. If you don't like the neighborhood, you can break camp and find another one. I'm never been without a roof over my head and food in my stomach while my family and I explore the highways and byways of America, seeing sights some will never see. The bright blue of a cloudless Colorado sky. The ocean off the coast of Oregon. The field in Pennsylvania where United flight 93 crashed on that fateful September day. The swamps of southern Georgia and the masterpiece that is Mount Rushmore. Nothing is out of reach.

Mixed Adventures in France
In the summer of 2010, precisely a few weeks after my Grandfather’s birthday, my family and I took a trip to France. We were visiting relatives. Generations ago, my grandfather’s uncle stayed in France while his father moved to America. My grandfather was a first-generation born American. His cousin Tazette lived in France with seven sisters. Her children were Cecilia, Elisabeth, Jeanette, and Adele. They were my mom’s "cousins." My siblings and I had four cousins: Wyatt and Jacques, Elisabeth’s children, and Azurine and Victor, Cecilia’s children. Adele and Jeanette never had children.

Top 5 Holiday Destinations
It’s already been two years since I moved here in the United States from the Philippines. Two different cultures, two different scenarios, and lots and lots of differences in everything. But the one thing that gives me excitement about living here in the US is the changes in season because when I was in the Philippines I only experienced sunny days and rainfalls.
