Zayza Explores

After what happened to my “Pica” app last December 2025, and losing access to it, I decided to revive this page. It really broke my heart because it had served as my travel diary over the past few years. I may no longer write on my travel blog, but I’ll be using this space instead to keep track of my 𝗆̶𝗂̶𝗌̶adventures and travels. The last time I posted here was in 2018, it’s been a while. Your resident Dora is back! Zayza Explores is back! 😅

If you’re seeing this post, hello! I hope you’ll stick with me as I create new memories. ✨

Sharing a photo from my most recent trip. 🌳

Flowers everywhere! Spring 2018 in Japan 🌸

Also during spring, Miharashi Hill is covered with blue nemophila. They are usually at their peak during late April to mid May. Seeing them for the first from afar, we thought there’s a sea on the other end. We were like kids in awe of the scenery. I would love to go back to see other seasonal flowers covering the hill. Japan is indeed ❤.

Our DIY Mt. 387 climb in Nueva Ecija last May. Did a back trail instead of traverse with a side trip to Aloha Falls with a budget of less than 1k.
