A travel & adventure blog by Kara Santos
As the temperature rises this summer, it’s important to keep your head cool especially while biking. For those planning their summer rides and bikepacking trips, aside from having a quality bike, one of the most important things you need to invest in is a proper cycling helmet. Travel partner Spyder Philippines just sent over their new Carve S1 Road Helmet for me to test out and use before they officially launch it this April 2019.
I often like to think of myself as a character in a video game when I travel. In fact, this blog was inspired by the whole video game concept of “Leveling Up” and I consider every trip as a way to earn EXP points.

Aside from all the health benefits of pedal power, the leisurely pace gives you a chance to discover new places and stumble upon interesting finds – like these unexpected ruins in the midst of a busy city.
