This has been one of the many projects I really wanted to start before the pandemic, but unfortunately, cafe hopping doesn’t really make sense when you’re all in a lockdown so… The community quarantine has been a big challenge to businesses and most of them permanently closed eventually because profit went down and they couldn’t support the business anymore. While some took the risk on going straight online, content creators grew their business on the other hand, and thankfully most online businesses grew as well. Except me, of course. I can give more reasons why I went MIA, but I had a nice time reflecting and I learned there’s just one reason why I stopped accepting jobs while quarantine. I lost inspiration. I became too lazy, anxiety attacked more frequent, I almost thought I was okay, but apparently, I wasn’t. I tried to focus more on my corporate job, but though I became occupied with online tasks and organizing online events, I still felt uninspired. So when the lockdown has started to ease down, I knew I had to go out sometimes, be more mindful of where to go, what to do, and finally see something else other than the four walls of our tiny house. Please do not travel unless it’s already 100% safe! All travel articles and restaurant reviews in this blog are here to inspire you on your future plans, but please DO NOT LEAVE HOME UNTIL IT’S TOTALLY SAFE! We all are excited to go out and have fun, but let’s keep “safety” our number one priority. Stay healthy! These are not the first cafes I visited after a year of lockdown. I mean, I just realized I wanted to document my “work-from-anywhere” adventure a couple of months after. And in below list are cafes I found super nice to work in especially when you think you’re kind of getting tired of working from home. New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here. I travel a lot for both work and leisure. Thanks to being an auditor and a content creator and, of course, to my love for travel, I barely feel I’m actually at work when traveling. And if I’m actually off work, I usually am with friends or family, discovering places and trying out new food. I’m juggling three jobs – the two mentioned + being a single mom. You think it’s easy? Of course not! But what glues me together is my passion and love for these three. More about my story here. I love sharing what I know and how I do things, so if you haven’t read these yet, visit the following pages to view: how I take and edit my blog photos + what devices and apps I use; how I plan my travels; how I treat my sunburns (from the mildest to the wildest!); and what do I get from traveling, by the way? 1. Starbucks (several branches) Yes, I love Starbucks! A cup of SB coffee may cost too much, but here’s a few things I like about Starbucks: 1) you or the barista can adjust your coffee to your liking. I mean you can also request the same in other coffee shops or cafes but 2) Starbucks has branches almost anywhere in the Metro and major provincial cities as well. It’s my go-to cafe when I don’t want or don’t have time to Google “what’s the nearest cafe from me” which is almost everytime, so it’s my first choice. One disadvantage of having your coffee at Starbucks is if you’re working remotely, people’s voices will definitely annoy you (at least me) and they don’t have public wifi yo ucan connect to. But if you’re just hanging of with friends, or want to spend a “me time” or you have noise canceling headphones or earphones, SB is
