Hello. My name is Claire Rementilla. I want to be a travel journalist and this is where it will begin. I attend college in the Fall and I have everything to look forward to. Driven by my intense passion and keen eye for opportunity, I know I can pursue my dreams. I have here the latin definition of 'flos', meaning the best part of something. The flos of traveling for me are those awe-inspiring moments when I realize that the world is not so small afterall. When my eyes lose the ability to grasp the vastness or the richness of a new land. When my senses overflow with the euphoria of new tastes and smells. When I feel my heart swell from the mere smile of a stranger. These moments is what I live for and nothing more.

I am seventeen and I have the world at my fingertips. Follow me.
