Although I am not a contestant, I've been a follower of the happenings during AirAsia Travel Photographer 2016. The moment they assigned me as a blogger partner for one of the finalists, I knew it's something that I'd like to invest my time and efforts in. I like seeing people reach for their dreams, it is inspiring and tugs those tiny strings in my heart, haha!

Anyway, months passed since the pre-selection, and finally we we're down to the finals night! And guess what, my partner contestant made it!

I am so invested in the Air Asia Travel Photographer 2016 contest now, feeling ko I am part of the whole contest! Haha! I loved seeing the entries of my dear friend and pambato Dave Poblete during their final leg in Macau, no less! I suppose they change the location so visa won't be an issue? Anyway, back to the contest! Sharing Dave's shots, along with my final blog interview with him.

Thinking of making a regular Life In Squares segment in my blog where I ask 9 random questions to different personalities so you can also get to know more about these people that I admire and look up to! 

For my first feature, meet my AirAsia Travel Photographer 2016 bet Dave Poblete.

(Plus details on how to WIN 50,000 AirAsia BIG Points!)

AirAsia Philippines is currently holding the AirAsia Travel Photographer 2016 competition, and I already have my bet! (Read more on the contest HERE)

From all the six finalists, I will go for Dave Poblete, a 26-year-old BPO employee from Makati. Before they fly to Shanghai for the final challenges, I was able to interview Dave. Get to know more about this young photographer, where he discovered the competition, his dream travel destinations, and how he started with photography. I was also able to get some of his sample works, na super ganda, it made me a bit teary eyed when I first opened the files.. That's possible pala!  

Anyway, read on and be inspired! :)
