I travel to
Telling the Truth

It all started in 2007 with a backpack, a tight budget, and the naive idea that three months would be enough to “see Asia.” I came back ten months later with no money, but with the certainty that I had found the right way to live.

Since then, I’ve traveled through more than 40 countries, some with a backpack on my shoulders, others on more structured work trips. What has never changed is the way I write: no sponsored recommendations disguised as advice, no hiding the bad days, and always sharing real travel costs, because that’s what people ask me about the most.

Travel With Pipa was created to be the travel blog I wish I had found before every trip: honest itineraries and practical guides written by someone who has actually been there, not by someone who only researched it online.

Until the next trip, Pipa
