Welcome to my FB page on travel, culture, photography, food and more! I am so excited to share stories about my travel and adventures; something I’ve been really wanting to do for quite some time now.

My name is Rauvi and I consider myself a ‘Pinay-Merican’. I am originally from the beautiful country of 7,107 islands
, born and raised in the Philippines. In 2007 however, I made the biggest move in my life and settled in the big State of Texas, specifically in Dallas which I consider my second home. I guess you can say that I’m a big Dallas Mavs and Dallas Cowboys fan. With my new-found love in traveling, I consequently made it my bucket list to visit all 50 states of America. So far, I have traveled to more than 25 states and counting…… I’ve also since traveled to many beautiful provinces in my native country which I never thought such stunning places existed. However though, I didn’t really realize the ‘Wanderlust’ in me until my trip to some parts of Europe last year. I fell more in love with traveling as I walked the royal ambience of London streets and as I explored the classic beauty of the city of love, Paris. I love being in an unfamiliar place. I love discovering new things. I love meeting people and learning different cultures. I love trying out different exotic and traditional cuisines. I love being asked for directions by other tourists like ‘I’m not a tourist myself’, LOL. It might sound strange but I even enjoyed the time when my friend and I got lost in Paris. If I could sum up the many reasons why and what I love about traveling, it’d be………..

When I don’t travel, you would find me in Dallas enjoying my family, painting, joining fun runs, trying out local restaurants, working as an RN and studying (I’m on my last year of finishing my masters in hope of becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner soon). Come travel the world with me!
