About the SEÑORITA
Hey there, fellow adventurers! I’m Polly Amora, the señorita behind Golden Island Señorita. A go-getter by day, and a wanderlust-fueled explorer by heart. As a dedicated general manager in the vibrant whirlwind of wholesale trade right here in Metro Manila, I can honestly say that I’m living my dream. But you know what else sets my soul on fire? Traveling the globe and immersing myself in new cultures, flavors, and experiences. I have no intention of hitting pause on my career to satisfy my wanderlust cravings. Why choose between two loves when you can have the best of both worlds?
When I’m not diving into the world of wholesale deals and negotiations, you’ll find me lost in the joys of writing and organizing. It’s like my creative fuel! That’s why I decided to bring this blog to life – Golden Island Señorita. Here, I spill all my travel secrets, from crafting epic itineraries to dishing out savvy budget tips. And hey, organizing isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life!
Oh, and when I’m not lost in the world of travel, you can catch me diving deep into the ocean as a freediving enthusiast, teaching kids how to play the drums, or satisfying my inner neat freak with some serious organizing skills. Plus, let’s not forget about my three adorable fur babies and my swoon-worthy French boyfriend – they add an extra sprinkle of joy to my already exciting life.

I wish! But, no, I run a business and have a couple side hustles (offline).
I came across your article about traveling while running a business and thought I’d check your profile. Not everyone has the same mindset, the same goals, or even the same personality type when it comes to their careers and handling money specially the Millennials. Some would rather go in debt just to impress others on Facebook that could actually careless one way or the other. Nice work, young lady.
Hi Anthony! I am aware that millennials get a bad rap when it comes to work or finances but I can’t blame you. Thank you very much for dropping by and for the kind words. <3
Your attitude is contagious. You spread optimism and positivity. Demonstrate your passion by approaching things with energy, focus, purpose, and enthusiasm. I’m also a Pinay and I’m proud to call you a kabayan. Excited to read your future posts!
Hi Mara – Kabayan!! Thank you very very much! You’re too sweet. <3
I just found your webiste! And I have to say I really enjoyed it, its definetly one of my new reference sites. I came across it today when I googled “reasons why you should travel alone” and after reading it made me feel so light and wonderfull. I found other amazing topics, like “habits of mentally strong woman” and usually I saty away from sites like those because often they make the reader feel like your not good enough or like they are taking a dig at your persona. Your however, felt like it was close friend or family member giving me advice but still assertive and I really like that. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Angela! I’m really happy to hear that. Thank you very very much! <3
