For the Love of Sinigang

Mountains, meals, and everything else that feels like home

About

I love sinigang. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ So much that if home had a flavor, it would be it. The quintessential Filipino soup always feels like a warm hug — on a rainy day, after a tiring flight, after days on the mountain or a short morning run.

I also love mountains, beaches, and going on the kind of adventures that make my family and friends mildly panic. πŸ˜… I’ve always loved being out there, but somewhere along the way, I got stuck in the loop of deadlines, meetings, and the strange soul-suck that is my professional carreer. When I finally decided to say yes to new adventures again, I found more than trails. I found kindred souls. People who knew more than I did, but never made me feel small. People who generously shared what they knew. That made every hike, every misstep, and every summit all the more meaningful, and everywhere I find myself in feel like home.

This blog is my way of paying it forward.

I’m consolidating all the useful information here (trail tips, gear lists, sinigang thoughts, and other simmering ideas) for anyone who needs it. Hope this little corner of the internet becomes worth the scroll and the server space.

With a big bowl of warmth,
Your Sinigang Gang Leader 🩡
