Hey hey! I’m Polly Amora – a curious global citizen with a huge love for cultures, history, and epic adventures. By day, I manage a privately-owned company in Manila, but off the clock, I’m all about chasing moments, making memories, and embracing life with open arms. Come along and let’s explore this amazing world together!

I love sharing about travel, stunning destinations, foodventures, the corporate jungle, travel survival guides, the technical side of traveling (ehem… Visa applications), my French bae, and everything under the summer sun!
