THE SEÑORITA
Hey there, I’m Polly Amora, a corporate warrior by day, and a perpetual explorer by heart. I’m all about embracing life’s adventures, from conquering peaks to basking on sandy shores, wandering city streets, and savoring exotic flavors.
I’m a lifelong learner, and my curiosity knows no bounds. Music, the great outdoors, writing, free diving, and picking up new languages – that’s my jam. One thing I firmly stand by is that you don’t need to ditch your job to embrace wanderlust. It’s totally possible to juggle the 9-to-5 and globe-trotting – because, why settle for one when you can have the best of both worlds?
So, here’s to exploring, learning, and living life to the fullest!

What sources of income does your blog have?
I earn a bit of commission through collaborations, affiliate marketing and ads. Thank you very much for the supporting me through this!
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 run a business and have a couple side hustles (offline).
i saw your answers on quora about mlm thought I’d visit your website. you have strong opinions and i admire you for that . i do mlm and its not that bad cheers!
Hi Rudy! Wow that thread was last year? Hahaha! Thank you for dropping by!
I don’t consider all MLM’s a scam. But my answer remains the same. Most MLMs are not legit – I can name a gazillion website/companies that do this. Why? Because there are NO tangible products and the entire focus is on chain recruiting. Affiliate commissions are paid out as a direct result of recruiting others. Rather than earning commissions based on the sale of legitimate products or services. This is exactly how a pyramid scheme operates. You can make money with schemes like this, but they simply do not last. Only so many people are willing to join a scheme like this, so eventually people stop making money and they jump ship. Right into the next ‘shiny object’.
Fancy seeing your blog, sweetheart. So this is what you have been up to.
