Publisher: The Poor Traveler | Seeing the world should not cost you the world.

THE BLOG All we wanted was an online travel journal. That was the plan. One night, while stuck in the hotel room after yet another heavy downpour that paralyzed our travel plan, we considered setting up a blog to document how it always rained every time we would go on a trip. We didn’t think anyone would bother to read it, but we did it anyway. It was one of those things we did just for the heck of it. [Read more about the bloggers here.] But over the last four years, The Poor Traveler has emerged as one of the biggest travel blogs in the Philippines and in the region in terms of traffic and social media presence. (Yeah, we know it sounds cocky, but we need advertisers, so….) ADVERTISE WITH US! We are open to banner advertisements, ex-deals, social media promotions/online contests, and other forms of partnerships.

Our partner website PhilippineBeaches.org, with 1.4 million likes on Facebook, was Asia’s biggest travel/leisure page based on 2012 SocialBakers data.
