Hi, I’m Jairo Gausachs! I’ve been in the world of travel blogs since “this was all fields“. Now, with more than 15 years of experience behind me, I can say I know a lot about SEO, about travel content and, above all, I know a lot about my beloved Philippines.
I’ve written about travel on major portals such as Skyscanner and I’ve been a multimedia creator and video author at, among others, LATAM Airlines. For more than 9 years I was in charge of the IATI Seguros blog. This has made me now also an expert in travel insurance (and, well, I can tell you that most of the travel insurance comparisons you’re going to see out there… lie).
My first big trip to Asia was in 2010: I grabbed my backpack and spent six months with no plan and enjoying myself like never before. Then, in 2014, I started an improvised round-the-world trip that led me to meet Claudia, who is now my wife and the other 50 % of Viajar por Filipinas. I’m a modest person and I don’t like talking about myself or singing my own praises. But hey, Viajar por Filipinas is the best website about the country. That’s how it is and there’s nothing wrong with saying it.
Every day (yes, really, every day) we work on it and put all our love into making it the perfect tool for your trip to this paradise. We have collaborated with different tourism offices in the country and local companies.
I love pizza, I love The Beatles and Nintendo is and will be the best company for video games.
Experience: Philippines, Travel, SEO, Social Media, Travel Insurance.
