I just came from the Backpack Forum earlier @ Bonifacio High Street. It was a very inpiring talk.
Roel Chan gave a really good presentation on How to Pack. I learned a lot!
Robert's video journal was awesome! His sketches and travel stories are very encouraging.
Jetro's photos were amazing! I love the sights and the stories behind them.

This made me even more excited to take my own backpacking experience!
I better start mapping out my Phippine Backpack tour.

Robert & Jetro,
Thanks for the inspiration!

R.O.X.
Thanks for making this event happen.

Thank you guys for joining us...live your dreams people! We know life is hard now with all the crisis but life still goes on...they said that in times of recession, the rich people are the only recession proof...i don't think so, i believe that the SMART people are the recession proof...if you have the passion and the will...we can always find a way : )
