My name is Kesha, but a better version I would say compared to my past self below 😀 I still love traveling but I’m no longer that attached to it. I have reflected quite well on how I lived my life so far and I can confirm that before the covid pandemic, I was really operating from a place of trauma, survival mode, a high-functioning anxious person who dissociates most of the time her life. I was sleepwalking my entire life that’s why all the things that I have accomplished or experienced felt so shallow and meaningless. I was always performing and trying to prove something…
I promise we will not discuss holistic psychology or cptsd here 😀 but I’m just grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for saving me and the healing that comes with it. I went through hell and was forced to face my own demons just to be where I am now. The only way out is through 🙂
With that said, I have a lot of projections and beliefs in the past that I no longer hold now. But I will not change the old blog posts (which really sounded super entitled, selfish, ignorant, and downright insecure 😀 ) I’m not beating myself, just embracing all that I was, am, and will be.
And I wanna visit again the countries I have visited before. But this time, with a fresh and new perspective, I will enjoy and savor the present moment with a calm and relaxed nervous system. I will continue to share my experience with the objective that someone somewhere might learn something from it.
I’m still figuring it all out, still recovering from people pleasing, still wretched, still learning and unlearning(a loooot of bs taught by society) still growing, still healing, but fully dependent on God. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me ❤️
Hello! Thanks for being curious. My name is Kissyah, suffering from wanderlust since 2012. I didn’t quit my job yet. I’m solely depending on my paycheck to travel. And I work on all holidays to earn extra vacation leave. Does it sound so pathetic already?😂
I started this blog because I was fooled into thinking that I can earn money from this through advertisement and all the shit stuff that those famous bloggers were raving about. Well, I’m still waiting for my ROI to be honest.😆
But I’m also using this as my outlet for expressing my misadventures, documenting my journey, sharing my raw and personal travel experiences with the world. 😅 Hopefully, will have something to look back into when I get old. I don’t know what else to do with my life if I don’t travel. I’m dead serious. Hence the name of this blog, Laagan Kaayo.
What does “Laagan Kaayo” really mean? It’s a bisaya term for Hardcore Traveler. A person who is always anxious to go to a new place. A person who is always thirsty for new adventures. And that’s how I consider myself.
And no, I’m not here to inspire you. I’m sure you can find a lot of that anywhere else on the internet. But I will serve as your reminder, that the world is fucking beautiful and life is certainly uncertain. FOR GOD’S SAKE! don’t wait for your retirement to travel. You’re not even sure if you’d make it.
