Mabuhay! 

Welcome to our humble virtual home! We’re newbies on the road. We started traveling around the Philippines few years back and Asian countries in the most budget-friendly and convenient ways possible. Ive is a bookworm and true crime fan and Edge is a freelancer and has plenty of appetite for news & current events. We both like the shade of blue, we root for the San Antonio Spurs and we love to pig-out. We work hard to agree to disagree.
