I’m Eljon.
Once an engineer, now a traveler and writer, the author of Explore to Thrive. In 2020, I dared to break away from the norm and carve my own unique path.
People often think I’m a guy with big dreams that sound deep and serious. But there’s a lot more to who I am than that. This millennial from the Philippines is sometimes funny and a little sarcastic. I’m also an optimist who always finds a way, as long as it’s worth it.
My interests? I love writing, traveling, coffee, everything about Europe, Tolkien, mountains, old architecture. Freedom & time spent with loved ones mean the world to me.
Here’s My Story.
If we haven’t met yet, I have a lot to share with you!
Before Explore to Thrive
A lot can change in just a few years. In half a decade, I went from being an engineer to building niche sites, and now, I’m an authentic blogger. I’ve lost, I’ve won, and I’ve learned more than I ever imagined.
If I had to capture my story in one line, it would be this: “What started as an escape became the adventure of a lifetime.”
In this blog series, I’m sharing my journey, where I’ve been and how I’m taking action today. From the start of my escape to now, my experiences and challenges have fueled my growth, inspired resolutions, sparked realizations, and revealed the life values I live by now.
