TELL US ABOUT YOUR BLOG. WHEN DID YOU START IT AND WHY? 

THE GIRL WITH THE MUJI HAT started a few years back. It’s intended to be my online journal but it has morphed into all different kinds of things. The blog pages cover a variety of topics in so far as I love to document anything that interests me—food, cooking, art and music, business, fashion, photography, nature and gardening, CCM, sports, beauty, community building, education, health, AND most of all, TRAVELS.

 
WHO OR WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR INTEREST TO BLOG?

My influence mainly come from nature and from people that I meet in my travels. I love to write about and share travel tips, hotel & food reviews, destination & visa application guides, with bits of inspiration in between. My goal is to inspire my online readers to explore the Philippines as well as new places, learn, interact with people, create a connection among cultures, and enjoy nature while observing responsible tourism.

WHAT CAN YOU SAY( WHAT’S YOUR COMMENT) ABOUT THE LATEST TRENDS IN BLOGGING?
