Episode 419 - Filipino Travel Bloggers and Connection to the Islands

The Halo Halo Podcast kicks off July with a spotlight on Filipino Travel bloggers and explore our connection to the islands. In their pop culture catch up, Jezzie and Sigi discuss not crossing paths during Pride weekend in TO while Sigi and his family spend a quick 24 hours visiting close friends and the aquarium. Sigi waxes on his latest streaming addictions: Loot and the Lake while Jezzie shares his love of Fire Island, the latest seasons of Legendary and The Handmaids Tale.

As both co-hosts mention that it is the beginning of summer and people are ready to travel, Jezzie highlights Filipino Travel bloggers, David Guison, (@davidguison)  and Jan and Ann, (@janandann). David who has been a travel and lifestyle blogger since 2011 shares a cool, luxe vibe encouraging a millennial view on how life should be about recreation, relaxation and discovery. Jan and Ann are a Filipino couple who moved from Alberta to Philippines to pursue their dreams of wanting to be content creators and sharing hidden gems/paradises and collecting experiences. Jan and Ann’s story is a call to the islands and their travel vlogs share similar stories to other vlogs where picturesque vistas are showcased that encourage people to connect with the islands. Jezzie explains that there is something visceral about watching a travel vlog or visiting the Islands themselves. Further, we encourage others to find other Filipino vloggers like David, and Jan and Ann and find something that you can connect with in terms of what they showcase.
