Hello! Welcome to byahecho. My name is Echo, certified wanderer and a solo backpacker. That's how I got my blogname. Byahe is a Filipino term meaning travel and Echo is my nickname. Born and raised in the smallest and youngest town in Pampanga, Philippines which is Sto. Tomas, i grew up working hard for the things that I want. We never tasted the food that we eat with a golden spoon in our mouth so we definitely know the value of every simple things. Traveling, performing and photography are the things that I love to do the most. Climb mountains, chase waterfalls, cliff dive, sky dive are just some of the adventures that I do. I know how to swim and ride a small boat since I grew up in an area where flood is a yearly disaster that we need to face. I consider myself as a thrill seeker. Wishing to see the beautiful spots in the Philippines and the world. Just like any other Filipino travelers, I have my own Project 81 and wishes to visit and experience the culture of the 81 provinces of the Philippines before I reach the age of 30. Traveling is not for everyone. I am truly thankful that I get the chance to see the beauty of the world's wonder. But as I always say, seeing these spots and having a taste of local dishes is not always the best part. It's meeting people along the way and making friends and new family. You will be amazed how great God is for creating a diverse culture and kind people who were once a stranger but can impact a big part of who you are. I have so many realizations as I travel and I hope to tell you all these thru my blogpost. I was convinced to put up this blog to share with you guys my travel experiences, food trips and hopefully, meet new friends and inspire more people. Together with my skills in photography, I hope you get to enjoy my travel experiences and use them as your guide in case you plan to visit one of the places that I've been to someday. Happy reading & I would appreciate any feedback. Let's all be friends and enjoy sharing travel experiences. Who knows someday, we might just cross paths along one of our travel destinations. So, see you! -Echo
