Hiking & Travel
Hi! Annyeong! Hola! ΠΠ΄ΡΠ°Π²ΡΡΠ²ΡΠΉΡΠ΅!
I'm Rochelle, a nobody from the Philippines based in the UAE for almost 10 years.
An avid hiker and aspiring travel writer, PinayHakawati is where my hiking and travel meet in between. I travel to places (inside and outside the UAE) where I can hike up to my heart's content, and I hike while traveling because that's my definition of fun. Hello #adventuretravel!
