Postcards from the Museum of Communism in Prague

Politically irreverent. Fairly amusing. Possibly disrespectful. As a person who has been living in the Czech Republic for 5 months, I find them offensive. As an Ayn Rand reader, I find them apt.

First Night in Bratislava: Pondering on Fear

“Remember, remember the 5th of November.” In the UK, Brits are exploding fireworks to commemorate Guy Fawkes and his attempt to blow up the Westminster Palace.

Where my feet took me

San Francisco

Trish Lalisan


Among the many things I am, I would say that I’m a traveler. I’ve lived in 8 different countries so far, and I've visited plenty more.

Six months after I was born, I left my home country of the Philippines and my family and I flew off to Nigeria. From then on, my childhood was one full of transition: aside from my passport country and Nigeria, I was able to live in Guam (USA), India, and South Africa before I was even 10 years old.

I returned to the Philippines to complete my education, but even then I still longed for flight – I participated in an exchange program in France for a semester while I was completing my bachelor’s degree in the management of communications technology. After graduation, I took a marketing internship in the Czech Republic for half a year. I spent two years in Singapore working for a great company, and then they moved me to San Francisco, where I live now!

Though many aspects of my life have not been constant, several things have remained true: my devotion to my family, my passion for travel, and my love for the written and spoken word.

I also enjoy martial arts (I am a ranked practitioner in a Filipino Martial Arts style called Eskabo Daan), philosophy, musicals, hiking, and geeky things.
