Mika Santos is a Manila-based travel and lifestyle writer who believes the best adventures begin with curiosity and a packed backpack. From hidden waterfalls in Mindoro to art cafés in Kyoto, she writes about meaningful journeys that connect culture, food, and community.
On Bakasyon.ph, Mika focuses on practical trip planning: realistic itineraries, transport choices, weather-aware backup plans, food and culture, and calmer ways to explore the Philippines and nearby destinations.
Editorial approach: Bakasyon.ph guides may combine firsthand observations contributed from family travel with independent research from official tourism, transport, weather, and local sources. The byline identifies the site author and editorial voice; it does not imply that every observation on every page came from one person. Time-sensitive details such as fares, schedules, fees, and operating rules should always be checked close to travel.
