Who is Intrepid Wanderer?
I’m Galwin and I am just a regular guy from the Philippines. I am an athlete, foodie, student of life, photography and technology enthusiast, and a travel junkie. I hold a Bachelor of Science in computer engineering from the Mapua Institute of Technology. Right after graduation I joined the rat race as an IT guy and for several years of having to go to the office from 9 to 6, I realized that I love travel more than anything else and that working on weekdays and traveling on weekends prevents me from traveling the world so I decided to quit my job.
Right now, I travel at every opportunity I can get and I strive to get out there and travel the world seeking to experience different lovely cultures and see different beautiful places – and blog about it.
Recently, I joined this online travel community called Couch Surfing. It is a wonderful community that wants to achieve a world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places they encounter. I also joined Advocacy Photographers, a group of photography enthusiasts, hobbyists, students, professionals and social advocates in sharing their works and insights on various realities in society, culture, environment, among others, with the use of photos.
Why Intrepid Wanderer?
I started this travel blog because I want to chronicle my journey and share my travel experiences, hoping someday, it would become useful to my family, my friends, to me, and to you.
