About the SEÑORITA
Hi there, fellow adventurers! I’m Polly Amora, the señorita behind Golden Island Señorita. By day, I’m a driven general manager in the fast-paced world of wholesale trade in Metro Manila, and by heart, I’m a globetrotter with a love for discovering new cultures, flavors, and experiences. Who says you have to choose between a thriving career and a passion for travel? Why not have both?
When I’m not sealing deals and traveling, you’ll find me writing, organizing, or pouring my travel secrets into this blog. From creating epic itineraries to sharing budget-friendly tips, Golden Island Señorita is where I combine my love for travel and organization.
I love watersports, from surfing to underwater adventures, and teaching drums to kids is a blast. Life’s even better with my three adorable kitties and a lively pup keeping me busy—it’s the perfect mix of fun and fulfillment!

What do you consider to be most rewarding aspect of being a travel blogger?
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a travel blogger is having the opportunity to influence/encourage people to travel. Every time I get an email thanking me for writing about a place or telling me that my blog helped them plan their vacation, I do a little dance. The feeling is amazing!
How much time do you put into writing content?
I’d estimate 3 hours for brainstorming, drafting the entire article, and proofreading.
Is blogging your main source of income? How do I start a blog that makes money?
I wish! But, no, I’m a regular employee and have a couple side hustles (offline).
Very good blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
Hello, Alphonso, and thank you for stopping by. My experience has taught me that I should have begun with a paid Wordpress plan from a different host. WP(dot)com is quite restrictive, and you won’t be able to fully utilize your site’s potential, such as customization, SEO tools, and ad installation. Also, it will seem like starting from scratch once you decide to transfer from WP(dot)com to other host.There are basic plans available for beginners, and if you see that the web traffic is moving well, you may upgrade to a higher plan. Best of luck!
Everything is very open with a really clear description of the challenges. It was definitely informative. Your website is extremely helpful. Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for the comment and for stopping by Pat!

We absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome weblog!
Hi Jackey, thank you very much for your kind words and for stopping by. Guest posting is currently not open since I am in the process of updating the site; however, it may reopen after I have finished straightening things out.
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for inexperienced blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Hi Redge, thank you very much for your visiting and for your kind words! My advice would prolly be to start blogging now. Find a niche that interests you, get a paid WordPress plan, and write about what interests you the most. Best of luck! ❤️
