Constant

Since we decided to work together on our travel blogs, Asta and I have been inseparable. From tours abroad to local road trips to the friendly neighborhood isawan sa kanto, we are each other’s kaladkarin friend. We’ve traveled together ng summer or winter, maulan or maaraw, planned or spontaneous.
