*Whenever I travel in Asia, I always drop-by my native country "the Philippines" (from San Francisco, California) to pick-up a cousin to accompany me.

Of course, it's always safer & more fun to travel with someone & so, my budget has to be extremely tight having to spend for 2.

*My brother Rico on the other hand has also travelled with me quite a lot but not in Asia. He publishes our past travels under his name.
