About Me

Hi, I’m Viv!

In 2023, I packed my life in the Philippines into a 30kg suitcase and a carry-on, and moved across the world to Germany—with more dreams than Euros, and no clear roadmap except the one in my head.

What started as a leap of faith has turned into an unfolding journey:
🏡 I’ve been an au pair, a backpacker, a volunteer, and now I work in Hamburg’s cultural scene.
🌋 I’ve hiked active volcanoes, crossed borders by train, run two marathons including fundraising for Berlin, and now currently training for my first sprint triathlon.
🎒 I’ve traveled mostly solo, but never truly alone.

I’ve always dreamed of documenting life this way—through stories, photos, videos, and honest reflections. I was that kid who filled diaries with daydreams. Now I’m doing it on a slightly bigger stage.

This blog is where I share the in-between moments:
– The real behind the reels
– The kilometers I run and the ones I walk slowly while admiring the view
– The joys, the homesickness, the figuring-it-out part of building a life abroad

Whether you’re here for solo travel tips, marathon training inspo, immigrant girl musings, or just passing through—I’m really glad you’re here.

Welcome to Point of Viv: the scenic route, in blog form.
Let’s get going. 💛
