I’m Maricel Santos, a British travel expert with Filipino roots, specialising in Asia trips and deals.

From exploring my family’s home in the Philippines to discovering vibrant streets in Tokyo and hidden gems across Asia, I share tips, guides, and insider knowledge to help travellers explore the region with confidence and curiosity.
