About Me

Hey there! I'm Chad.
And you are here! Welcome to my site.

First, let me introduce myself  formally. I am Richard J. Roque, a Pinoy from the province of Bulacan. I am one of those urban slaves trying to escape from the monotony of everyday office life by travelling. 

AN ENGINEER:
A graduate of the hallowed halls of my beloved Bulacan State University, I am a registered Electronics Engineer and working as a Software Engineer. Yeah! An engineer but working in Information Technology world. 


A HEDONIST:
Pleasure-seeker, I consider myself looking for something to satisfy me. But of course taking into consideration that it should be budget friendly. I try cuisines of the place and experience the must-try activities having the mindset that I might not go back to the place again.



A TRAVELER:
Obviously, I love going places. I am a self-proclaimed "explorer". By that, I like going to places to I never been to and experience things I never tried before. My favorite destinations are beaches!  I love soaking myself under the heat of the sun. Maybe, this is also a reason why I am a travel agent! :)



ABOUT THE BLOG


WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Thrift tips, must-try's, where-to-go's, culture trivia and I guess funny and not so funny stories of my adventures and misadventures of a man craving to explore. This will tell you stories of how to enjoy a budget-friendly trip.


OUT THE POST CARD PHOTOGRAPHY
Feeling like a professional photographer, I make sure that my photos are different from the rest and so I adapted from whoever if someone has invented this concept before, the out of the postcard photography. LOL

In this blog, I mainly focus capturing photos that are not usually seen in postcards. I aim that these pictures are not the ordinary angles in which tourist spots are usually taken and known for.


THE TRAVEL HAT
I guess you might have noticed, I always wear fedora hat in my pictures.
So what's with the travel hat I usually wear?

It's my trademark! And I believe it looks good on my pictures. It makes may hair settle down. LOL
Other reasons? I think I am yet to discover. 




Traveling always gives me something to look forward to. It gives me that feeling of being free and  whole. I'm glad I have discovered this passion that I really like and hoping by sharing this experience through writing blogs, someone out there might also discover his or her own.

Indonesia: My First Adventure Abroad

For my first trip abroad, Indonesia was a cool and adventurous travel destination because it has much to offer to a traveler like me who loves to see natural beauty and well-preserved landscapes. -June 12-15, 2012 I got to meet different people of different religions and had a chance to discover rich culture.

Red Car and Me

My mother always tells me stories about my childhood whenever we have “bonding time” or may I say, every time we are together. She really knows everything about my childhood and she enjoys telling me those funny stories. We even laugh till we drop! But my childhood stories that momma tells are not always funny. So whenever I have questions like “San ko nakuha ang peklat na to ma?” “Ano nangyari sa akin noong ganito ganyan?” I ask her and tada!!!! Kwentuhan na naman! Sometimes, it can make me realize things and understand why I am this way now. Those stories even though sad make me smile just remembering it happened to me. I hate crying so whenever I know momma is about to cry, I crank jokes and make her laugh. Those mementos are not to make us sad but happy. That is what I believe. One of those stories which I cannot consider sad nor happy but … I don’t know, is the one which took place when I was about to turn eight. It was so remarkable in my life. I witnessed how much...
