Erik is the blogger behind Erik the Hungry Traveller, a solo travel focused blog highlighting his trips around the world.

Erik grew up in the Philippines and fell in love with travel as he traveled the country with his father. Through the years, Erik realized his calling and began traveling solo around the world. 

He discovered that even when traveling alone, you're never lonely. He always found himself meeting new people and creating lifelong friendships.

In our conversation, we cover a lot about Filipino food, how they celebrate Christmas, and how solo traveling is not only fun but can help open new perspectives on life. With many wonderful tangents in between, this episode is packed full of things to learn.
