I have never been a client of Airbnb although I love seeing the homes and rooms being put up for rent around the world. Somehow, it gives me an idea how people are living in faraway places like Paris, Morocco and San Francisco. It turns out the Philippines is now one of Airbnb's growing markets with 400 per cent growth year-over-year in the Philippines in 2012.According to the web company's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nathan Blecharczyk : “Manila is a growing travel destination, and people from the Philippines are traveling abroad at increasing rates, so ...

Last week, I got the news that I've received the Top Contributor badge on Trip Advisor. This only means that I've done 50+ reviews on the site of the hotels, restos and attractions I've visited in the past two years.No big deal but it's my way of giving back to the travel community since I consult, even rely on Trip Advisor member ratings whenever I go to certain places.
