Pinoy in London - Tour of Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studios

I was back in London for work. And then I stayed for a couple of days after my official work duties so I can visit the Warner Brothers Studios where the Harry Potter Tour is located. 

This is a virtual tour of the studios. Enjoy!

Back in London - More of the City and its Boroughs

I went back to London for work. I made sure that I was going to be in London and try to see London the way locals do. So for two weeks, I made time to see the city after office hours and during the weekend. It was a lot of effort but it was rewarding.

Seeing London how the locals see it made me appreciate the city even more. A bonus was seeing my childhood friends M and J once again.

Pinoy in Peru - My unforgettable travels in Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu and Puno

Mijo and I have been planning our trip to Peru for years and it was worth the wait. 

From its modern sites to its Inca ruins, from its ceviche to its Pisco, Mijo and I absolutely enjoyed our Peruvian journey.

Pinoy in Turkey - My unforgettable travels to Istanbul

Our trip to Istanbul may have only been a side trip with our travel to Greece, but it was absolutely awesome.

Mijo and I enjoyed the intoxicating exoticism Istanbul showed us. Definitely, it is one of our most memorable short trips.

Life is a beach - My unforgettable trip to Mykonos

Mykonos is like Santorini's younger and hipper sibling. Whatever Mykonos lacks in sunset views it makes up for its beaches and the party vibe to lure the monied and the beautiful and also us - the commoners.

Our trip to the island of Delos to get a dose of archeology and history was a bonus!

Life is a Beach - My memorable trip to Santorini

Santorini for me was blue skies, island landscape, white on white houses, turquoise water and the sunshine.

After this trip, Santorini is just pure magical beauty where time stands still. 

Pinoy in Greece - My unforgettable travels to Athens

I had been told before to skip Athens or give it only a day when traveling to Greece.

Mijo and I were skeptical about this suggestion and we wanted to give Athens a chance. We were rewarded by our decision and the longer we stayed in the city the more we loved it.

Back in London - My unforgettable visits to the city, Stonehenge and Wimbledon

London was the first city I visited in Europe. That was sixteen years ago. I went back to London, this time with Mijo.

They say love is better the second time around. I'd like to say my trip to London was like that. Mijo loved it too. Bonus points because I saw one of my good childhood friends after many years of not seeing each other.
