I created It’s More Fun With Juan (Facebook page) in 2012 just for me to create a place where I can start sharing my travel experiences. It wasn’t known by many until some of my posts in 2016 went viral on Facebook. That’s when the time I learned to create my own website and write full articles/blogs. In 2017, I bought the domain www.morefunwithjuan.com for my blog.
PS: It’s More Fun With Juan is inspired from Philippine tourism’s slogan: “It’s more fun in the Philippines”
I can honestly say that my main influence in blogging (or to write travel blogs) is the “pinoyadventurista.com“. I was really a fan of this blog since I started traveling. It didn’t just help me in finding good itinerary for my travels but it also encouraged me to start my own travel blog.

Blogging. Yup, I earn money from it.
50% home. Another 50% from home. Hahaha
Well, for me the coolest thing about blogging is the “non-stop learning”. I learned so much information and skills in just a few years of doing this. I didn’t know how to hold and use a DSLR not until I wanted to snap beautiful scenes I’ve witness during my travels. I didn’t know how to create a blogsite, use HTML codes or even just buying a domain not until I needed them because of blogging. Big thanks to Google for helping me a lot! 😀 I also learned about digital marketing, photo and video editing, SEO, and many more!
There’s a very little chance for me to get angry. Thanks to my loooooooooong patience! But when I am, you won’t be able to talk to me. I will need to have my own space and be alone for a little while just to vent out.
‘s your most favorite blog post? Why?
There’s a lot. However, most of my favorites are the ones I created to share my own experience and/or point of view because that’s how I want to share to others. Although, I seldom write commentary.
Some of my personal experience blogs can be seen here:

That article has gained almost 2 million views and 200,000 shares in just 1 week in 2018. I really don’t know HOW and WHY it became popular like that. Maybe, people are just excited to know about the good news and it got a very catchy title on it. Hahaha
Well, I am still a newbie in this industry compare to others. But in just a short span of time, it has been changing since I enter the community. Blogging has been greatly influenced by social media. Before there was only GOOGLE. Today, when you decided to start a blog, the first thing you need to do is create a Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. Your audience are spending most of their time using those platforms. Every blogger should always adapt to changes like this.
The first advice was answered previously. 😀 Another advice is when you start blogging, begin by expressing yourself. Focus on creating a blog in your own way, your own style. Fame and money will just follow (followers will just follow, too! :D). Do it for fun! It’s always nice to do things that you really love and your having fun with. 🙂
