MY WANDER STORY
I’m Lor. And this is my wander story.
I’m a Filipino traveler, storyteller, and dreamer who believes that travel is about more than the places we visit. It’s about the experiences we have, the people we share them with, and the stories we bring home. My Wander Story is where I share the places I’ve been, the journeys I’ve taken, the people I’ve traveled with, and the things I’ve learned along the way. It’s also a space for practical ideas that help make travel a meaningful and achievable part of real life, whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a family adventure, or a journey somewhere new.THE STORY BEHIND MWS
It started with a love for wandering and telling the story.
My Wander Story began as a place to document the trips, places, and experiences I didn’t want to forget.
Over the years, it became a collection of stories from different seasons of my life. Some were about discovering a new destination. Others were about traveling with family and friends, finding places close to home, or simply taking a break from everyday life.
Along the way, I’ve also learned that being able to travel isn’t only about finding somewhere beautiful to go. It’s about making room for it in your life, your schedule, and your budget.
That’s a big part of what My Wander Story is becoming today.
HOW I SEE TRAVEL
Travel smarter. Experience more.
I don’t believe traveling on a budget means you have to miss out.
For me, traveling smarter means knowing what matters to you, planning well, spending intentionally, and leaving enough room for the experiences you can’t plan for.
Sometimes that means saving money. Sometimes it means spending a little more because something is genuinely worth it.
The goal isn’t to spend the least. It’s to make the most of what you have and come home with experiences worth remembering.
WORK & LIFE
Travel is easier when you make room for it.
I’ve been working from home since 2011, and over the years I’ve learned that flexibility can change the way you think about work, money, and travel.
For me, the goal isn’t to work all the time while traveling. It’s to build a life with enough flexibility and financial room to choose when, where, and how I want to experience the world.
That’s one reason Work & Earn has become part of My Wander Story.
