ABOUT A WANDERFUL SOLE
NOMADIC LIFE
A Wanderful Sole explores the nomadic life that its creator, Keza Marie, aspires to achieve. It serves as a platform for her to share her frustrations and misadventures.
FRUSTRATIONS
She often feels frustrated when she exceeds her budget and returns home empty-handed from her trips. Additionally, her planned itineraries often go to waste because she becomes easily captivated by a place or the people, causing her to linger longer than she intended while completely disregarding her original plans.
MISADVENTURES
Misadventures were common for her, as she rarely returned home unscathed. She has countless battle scars that serve as evidence of her recklessness and poor judgment, but she has definitely learned a lot from her experiences. Although she tends to be quite stubborn, it took several bug bites for her to start exercising caution before climbing trees, and a few burnt tongues before she learned to let her ramen cool down a bit before sipping the delicious broth.
DREAMS TO REALITY
This website is also about her dreams of living a life of endless travel and her quest of being able to do it in a sustainable manner without compromising her comfort and security when she turns 60 and grey. Currently, she is a weekend warrior and a full-time loser working a 9-by-5 job that pays the bills and funds her trips.
THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE
A Wanderful Sole is a blog dedicated to budget travel by a Filipina aspiring nomad. This website offers budget travel guides and useful information for popular destinations in the Philippines and beyond, with Vietnam marking the start of more international adventures. The blog also shares her hiking experiences, complete with helpful tips, hiking itineraries, and essential information for various mountains in provinces such as Batangas, Cavite, Rizal, Benguet, and Nueva Vizcaya, among others. The goal of this blog is to assist budget travelers in planning their trips and to ensure that their travels are as affordable as possible.
