Bianca Versoza
Bianca is an avid traveler who loves exploring the country (Philippines) with her family and the rest of the world with her friends. If there’s some sort of concert or special event going on, she’s there! She’s also a certified foodie—the one expense that she, admittedly, can never ever save up on when she’s in a foreign destination. Her biggest regrets often stem from how there’s never enough time to explore the places she visits.
