About

Hi, I'm Elle.

I'm an island girl at heart, based in the Philippines, creating travel & lifestyle content for brands who want their experience felt, not just seen. I've lived in Da Nang, Vietnam and in Trento, Italy as an exchange student, and I've been to 22 places across the Philippines — from La Union, the surf town up north, down to Sitangkai, the southernmost island in the country.

I also write for Rappler, one of the Philippines' leading digital news sites, covering culture, lifestyle and people-driven events, so my content is built the way a story is: a hook, a real moment, a reason to care.

I've partnered with tour operators, cafés and beauty studios across Southeast Asia, and I'm currently a UGC creator for Wanderlog, the trip-planning app that keeps your itinerary, map and bookings in one place.
