Hello

Hi, my name is Kokoy. I am from Manila, Philippines, but I now live in Austin, Texas. I am an educational administrator, a musician, and a soccer coach.

 

My family first moved to the United States when I was four years old. Since then, I feel I have been in a constant state of travel. I grew up in the United States, the Philippines and in China.  I return home to the Philippines 3-4 times per year (every chance I get :-)), and travel around the region. I love to write about my experiences travelling, and my reflections. Click The Adventures of Kokoy - A Travel Guide if you are interested in reading about some of the places I have been.

 

What I most love about travelling is learning how people in different parts of the world live their day-to-day lives, and how different we all are and yet have so much in common. I love being a Local Guide because I get to help others and share my reflections and experiences. (As of right now, I have written over 1000 reviews which have been viewed almost 696,000 times, uploaded over 49,000 photos with over 9.3 million views.)

What I love about being a Local Guide: I love capturing new place in digital format and letting the world know the places. When i started posting and giving review to places and things. I continually started giving for everything and everywhere i visit. Belonging to such a beautiful cultural India. I can't stop myself from clicking wonderful pictures.My Local guide journey has just started for me.


My favorite thing to explore: One of the favorite thing to exploring is new adventure, new culture and new people which i am not aware. Visiting new place is adventurous but capturing that part in ur gallery and bringing that thing to world is another kind of happiness.


5. Fun fact about me: As i grew up i found two things in myself, photography and travelling.
As a child i used to be nervous while travelling and my mom never use to leave me alone. Now I am older I grew up with a hobby of traveling and i travel in my free time.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
