“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert

My name is Melchor Manliguez Zapanta, a nurse, a seaman, an e-commerce entrepreneur, an internet marketer, a traveler, a globetrotter, a blogger and a frustrated photographer currently residing in Oslo, Norway. When I was young, it was my dream to explore around the world, have an adventure to different places and learn their culture, lifestyle, religion, language, demography, people etc. I also love nature the way it is created by GOD. I really love geography especially the “world atlas” wherein, I love to memorize the continents, countries and its flags, capital cities, and currencies of a country. I said to myself while reading the book, “I’ll be there someday.” As I entered to my collegiate years as a nursing student, I was able to travel in the Philippines from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao with my friends, who belongs to a group called “ASKATO” or Asay Kaon Toa hahahaha!(We are present if there are any food gatherings). With them for more than a decade already was a great experience especially in travelling anywhere in the Philippines as well as around the world. They are my company all throughout the tour. I started to tour around the world for 3 years as seaman-nurse in an oil tanker starting from South America to Asia passing through North and Atlantic Oceans, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean and back to North America. It’s a great fulfillment! Now, I’m going to conquer Europe and North America. Watch out and learn! Lol
