Hello there!
I am Marjorie and welcome to my backpack reflections. Dakilanglaagan contains my thoughts and sentiments about traveling, hiking, and adulting.

As we meet again… (A HIGH SCHOOL CLASS prophecy)
Finally. After ten long years, I am now able to keep my promise of publishing “our story” on a “blog.”.

Until then, I hope you’re rich in love, relationships, dreams, and finances.

Traveling to undiscovered places despite COVID-19 Threats
I should be preparing for two major climbs at this moment. I should already have enough pocket money for an international trip by now as well. But all these plans, the same as yours, were […]
