So Not Lost! is a travel blog created by Ren Robles, a 26-year-old theater actor and travel nut.
Ren isn’t quite as well-traveled as other travel bloggers, but he’s trying to catch up… and fast! Ren was bitten by the travel bug when he and his family went to Hong Kong last May 2008. It was his first time to travel out of the country, and he was amazed and awed by the place. He also got the opportunity to explore Hong Kong on his own, and from then on, his curiosity of other countries (and the subsequent wanderlust) grew.
So why is this blog called So Not Lost!? Well, all you have to look at is the subtitle: …just wandering around. It’s really because of my style of travel. I like to explore everything on foot as much as possible, and like a typical guy, I don’t usually ask for directions. If I have a map, I’ll use it, but if not, I’ll just wander about, passing through the side streets and taking note of what I see so I can get back. It also makes for more interesting travels; for example, on a recent trip to Angono, Rizal, I walked around aimlessly and found a large house with golden replica of the Statue of Liberty.
Hence, my declaration that I’m So Not Lost! I may look quite lost wandering about, but really, I know where I am… usually.
