Manila to Morocco Updates - and a travel map @ R.O.X.

For those who are wondering - yes, we are still planning to push through with the book!

We’ve spoken recently to Roel, R.O.X.’s marketing head and affirmed that we will be pushing through with the Manila to Morocco book project, launching sometime towards the end of the year. We’ll also be coming up with travel guides of the cities we visited - London, Paris, Madrid, maybe Seville (definitely NOT La Linea), Fez, and Marrakesh.

When we visited Roel at R.O.X. last Friday, they had this cool installation from The North Face featuring a map of the world with a lot of free pins. The idea is, everyone who goes there can pin all of the places they’ve been to. When we saw the map, it was really full - even the Siberian parts of Russia and Antarctica were pinned! It’s really awesome to know that Pinoys have been all over the world.

Lastly, we were in Beijing recently (which is another topic in itself!) and when we went to the Bookworm, a library/bar/meeting place we met this awesome guy named Guim Vals Teruel who came up with the idea of the Electric Bicycle World Tour. He is going on a 3 year ride around the world around his electric bicycle to promote environmental awareness, and when we checked his itinerary we found out he’s going to the Philippines! He’s going to be here in around September, so I chatted him up, gave my card and told him that we’d help him during the Philippine leg of his trip. Should be an exciting event for us to be part of!
