    One year in Malaysia: Farewell and reflections

    September 21, 2018 /

    Sometimes a year can be agonizingly slow, and sometimes it flies so fast you’ll hardly notice it come and go. My one-year stay in Malaysia felt like the latter. A year ago, I was still packing up my luggage, nervous but decided to make the best out of my stay in Malaysia. Here I am…

    Living in Kuala Lumpur: Expectations vs Reality

    June 28, 2018 /

    There’s no guide in the whole planet that can prepare you for what life is like living in another country. You can read about expat tips, what to expect in the culture and so on, but the actual experience is always subjective and personal. For my third-quarter stay here in Kuala Lumpur (time flies!), here’s…

    17 Incredibly Useful Tips for Moving Abroad for the First Time

    Living abroad has been a huge learning process for me, as it is for anyone who has decided to try their fate overseas for the first time. I feel like this is something one needs to personally experience to understand. Ever since I was kid, I’d read and watched stories about expats, but I could…

    Love at First Bite: 12 Of My Favorite Food in Malaysia

    It almost seems like a crime not to write about must-try foods in Malaysia considering that I’d gushed about it from day one. When Hali visited me last holiday season (just before our trip to Thailand), I made sure he get to taste the offerings in local eateries near the condo where I live. (He…

    It’s my 3rd month in Kuala Lumpur and I thought I’d share with you guys what it’s like living here in Malaysia! I know it’s a short amount of time and my points of view can still change, but at least it can give you a hint of the life of a Filipino expat here.…

    How do you go from a humdrum life to a point of no return? As I’m typing this, I’m sitting on my bed in an apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Next month I’ll start in a new job as a software engineer (this is my day job). Hali is staying in the Philippines, as he’s…

About Me

Katherine in Jomalig Island

Tara lets!

My name is Katherine Cortes, and this blog is a passion project. 🙂 I love staycations, beach trips and island hop/snorkeling tours, and food trips. Sometimes I blow my budget on eating!
When not traveling, I am staying at home with my cats, reading books, or spending afternoons in cafes.

Will never get tired of this view.
Tara? :)
Back where my heart is -- at Matnog, Sorsogon.
Truly one of Masbate's gem. Catandayagan Falls measures about 100 feet tall and its stream heads directly down to the sea.
I love relaxing activities so I was thrilled to experience the Buhatan River Cruise in Sorsogon. We sailed through the river for about an hour while enjoying local snacks like raw pili and listening to acoustic serenade.
Checking the pool at Vitton Beach Resort before our morning tour to see whale sharks in Donsol, Sorsogon. Managed to swim with two large whalesharks.
