About Me

Hey all! My name is Eli and I’ve been bouncing around the world nearly full-time for over 8 years now. I am, above everything else, an adventurer with a passion for life at every level. From massive expeditions in the Himalayas to the cozy evenings around a campfire, I try to enjoy every facet of life.

My adventures have taken me to over 70 countries across 5 continents, sharing my countless stories and experiences on multiple platforms, including a popular travel blog, an Instagram page, and Tik Tok account. It all started simply as a way to share my misadventures in a humorous and authentic fashion, but little by little, the audience grew and I realized I could do much more.

From inspiring others to take their first solo trips, crafting helpful guides to help people make the most of their trips, to now, actually physically taking travelers around the world through group trips, my life has gone in a direction I never had dreamed of.

Literally, if you told baby Eli in his tiny hometown of Ibajay, Philippines that this would be what his life looked like today, he probably wouldn’t say anything because he couldn’t talk yet. But, if you told College Senior Eli getting rejected in job interview after job interview, he’d be like “what, hell yeah.”

Anyway, I appreciate all of you who I’ve crossed paths with, either in person or on the internet, even if you’ve just grazed through my blog or scrolled past one of my Tik Toks at one point. See you all on the road.
