Why bringitong?

WHO AM I?

I'm Ellyn Ong. I'm a 23 year old photographer from Manila and I want you to show me the world through your eyes.

I'm starting this blog for all the people out there who have had these thoughts least once in their life:

1. I wish I could do that.
2. I should go there/try that some time.

and the all important

3. What if?

I want to live life, I want to experience culture, food, people, and adventure not only in other countries but my own as well. I want people to live vicariously through me, and I through them. I'm starting this alone but I want to build a community of people who are hungry for unique adventures. People who will be open to sharing their experiences and open to guiding others to experience the same things as well.

So with this, I say to the world, BRING IT ONG!

HOW WILL IT WORK?

Each couple of weeks, I will be posting a place I've been meaning to explore, and a budget I'm willing to spend. The rest will be up to you, the reader. Tell me what to do, how to get there, what to eat, who to talk to. Anything goes. I'll pick random destinations and activities to do, and at the end of the trip, I'll tell you how it goes!

However, there will be some limitations, for my own safety. :) I won't be doing anything that would put me in obvious life-threatening situations, criminal liability, or certain death. Embarrassment or anything dangerous, as long as there's a harness or a safety net, is okay. :)
