Sharing all things about pet-friendly travels and full-time work from home setup

2017 Official List Of Philippine Holidays & Long Weekend Schedule Per Malacanang Palace Proclamation Proclamation No. 50



They say one way of starting a new year is to plan it ahead of time especially if you love to travel like me. This isn't a big deal to me already since I am freelance and I work online. I don't need to file a leave in advance just to go somewhere because I can carry my tasks with me. I just need a good wifi connection and a laptop plus smartphone. However please don't be envious, there are pros and cons as well. What I have in my job, you'll probably have it better or vice versa.
