As I stepped outside, I can hardly tell where the sidewalk is. The snow was falling. It didn’t wait for me to send large amount of money to the Philippines before it covers everything on the ground. In a typical day, I would remit money online and didn’t have to bother about the weather. But […]

Why I’m Switching to Small Balikbayan Box

Updated on December 2, 2018 1 Comment
