Let’s make your dreams a reality.
I spent the last two weeks traveling across the Philippines with my friend Nestor—a guy I met years ago in Madrid over beers and broken Spanish. Back then, I was a broke MBA student in Murcia, scraping together meals and reasons to stay sane. Flights home for Christmas were priced like moon landings. Nestor, without blinking, offered up his couch in Gran Canaria. I barely knew him. Didn’t matter. He just said, “Come.”
That’s the thing about hospitality—you never forget the real kind. You carry it like a stone in your pocket, and one day, you get to put it down and return the favor.
So when he finally made it to the Philippines, I cleared the schedule. Or at least pretended to. We hopped around—city chaos, sleepy towns, slow mornings, fast tricycles. He met my dogs. Camino, my golden retriever, led the welcome party like a four-legged ambassador. The others followed suit, either curious or just hungry.
I fed him like a Filipino lola would feed a homesick grandson. Batchoy. Arroz caldo. Lomi thick enough to stand a spoon. Lechon that cracked like firewood. He devoured it all—except halo-halo and ube, which he politely described as “dessert for aliens.” Fair enough. Not everyone’s got the teeth or the stomach for sugar in technicolor.
But what floored him? Lucky Me Chili Mansi pancit canton. The instant kind. Gas station cuisine. Apocalypse-ready noodles. He packed them like contraband for his flight back to Spain.
We hit Boracay over the weekend. And yeah, it’s changed. But it still knows how to party. We danced until the night bled into morning—sweaty, loud, alive. Then came the stillness. That early Boracay hush before the tourists wake up. The beach empty, sky bruised with sunrise, sand cold under your feet. No noise, no vendors, just the soft static of waves. That’s the kind of silence that tattoos itself on you. A core memory, as the internet would say. But real.
During the day, we played tourists. At night, we logged into work. That’s remote life—half world traveler, half office ghost. Slack pings while your feet are still sandy. It’s weird. It’s wonderful.
He had complaints, sure. You don’t visit the Philippines without collecting a few. The traffic, the bureaucracy, the way everything both works and doesn’t. But he got it. The chaos is the charm. The inefficiency is the personality. This place isn’t polished—it’s alive.
He’ll be back. Not for the pancit canton. Not even for the lechon. But maybe for Camino, who took a liking to him in that effortless, dog way that makes you feel chosen. And maybe, too, for the strange, chaotic magic of this country—where the food is wild, the beaches otherworldly, and nothing ever goes as planned.
Which, frankly, is the whole point.
