who the hell are RON & MONETTE?
hehehe
We are Ron and Monette from the Philippines, travel buddies and a couple of urban slaves trying to break free from the monotony of everyday life by traveling. We started out backpacking late 2008 and and we see no end to this perpetual love affair.
WARNING: If you are weak of heart, no sense of humor, do not understand that sarcasm is best served dead-pan, thinks that randomly kissing strangers will get you pregnant, assumes that getting high is equal to selling your soul to the devil, believes that cursing will warrant agua oxinada on your tongue, and scared to hear honest opinions on travel…
Leave or forever be tainted with our loathsome declarations coming out of our every orifice.
In this blog we will offer thrift-tips, eco-paths, culture-bits, fab-finds, funny and not so funny stories while trying to explore places we’ve never been to. All in an itinerary that everyone can afford. This is telling of the adventures and misadventures of two friends with an insatiable craving for getting lost in unfamiliar bounds.
We are relatively young in blogging years but we have passion for what we do. Booking our own flights, hagling for bargains, sleeping with 10 other people we don’t know, running after buses and sleeping in airports essentially gave us a whole load of experience in this way of life ultimately making us backpackers in our own right. We cannot imagine ourselves exploring the world any other way.

Hi! I’m making a speech about backpacking. Good thing I saw your site! So my professor said I should put a quote before my speech but I can’t find any in Google. Besides, I want to put a quote from a Filipino backpacker. So please please please help me. My deadline is tomorrow and I really can’t find any good quote. I hope you can help me.
God Bless!
