It All Starts Right Here

I've been reading a lot of blogs for about 2 weeks now.  The main reason is, I'm currently on leave from work but can't afford to buy a ticket to go back to Philippines. So instead of not availing this leave and have it forfeited, I opted to take a local leave.  Without much things to do, reading blogs has been a daily routine of mine, well, aside from visiting my Facebook account and playing Cafe' World.

I have come up of making this blog after getting inspired from a lot of bloggers, most specially to travel bloggers. I myself love to travel but because of limitations (i.e. available days, money, etc) I haven't done a lot of travels in my 26 years of life.  Although I plan to travel a lot in the future, I'm still quite unsure when exactly I would be able to do it.

This blog, however, will not be just about travel.   I made this blog to share my experience as an Overseas Filipino Worker, thus the name LonelyOFW.  Yes, I am an OFW, and I am lonely.  It wasn't my dream to be one, but I became one for one main reason, MONEY.  Life in the Philippines is hard.  A decent job will just provide you your basic needs.  I thought of going abroad to provide my family, specially my father, of more than the basics.  I grew up in a poor broken family, having only a father to provide our needs and to guide us at the same time.  We have experienced a lot of hardship and I thought that it's time for us to experience a little bit more of what we have.

Being an OFW takes a lot of challenge and gives a lot of experience, and this blog will be my way of sharing those challenges and experiences.

That's all for now.  I'll be posting again soon.
