Welcome to Sel’s Travel & Eats (@selstreats)! 👋 Formerly The Candy Pack (@thecandypack)

Why the change? Our sweet dog, Candy🐾 is now 12 years old and blind. She’s officially retired from our travel adventures to enjoy her senior years in comfort at home! 🥰

Since I can no longer do pet-friendly travel, I’ve pivoted to local and global adventures—like our recent trips to Japan and Taiwan.

Sel’s Travels @ Eats stands for exactly what I do now: Travels + Eats! ✈️🍜

I’m so grateful for everyone who has been here since the beginning. Give this post a ❤️ to send some love to senior pup Candy, and help me plan my next videos by voting below! 👇

QUICK POLL: Where should we go explore and eat next?

Welcome, new subscribers!😊

Kaohsiung vlogs are here! 🥟🥢Taiwanese food hits different in the south. Mas mura kesa sa Taipei and ang sasarap ng mga home cooked meals nila as in even daughter ko na hindi mahilig sa gulay talagang napakain ng greens dito!😁🥬🍜

This trip was extra special because I got to bring my 70 yo tatay for the first time abroad! It’s his first international trip! Side note: Medyo maselan ang father ko sa food, ang standards nya! 😂

He’s a cancer survivor as well and medyo picky din talaga sa food so I was so surprised he rated a lot of our Taiwan eats on this 10-day trip as 10/10! 🥰

Super nagustuhan nya talaga lahat halos kinain namin and I’m super happy. Initially pa ayaw nya daw ng mga street foods 😂 and this trip totally changed his food preference.

So I’m curious to know what foodie content you want to see mostin the coming Taiwan vlog series?👇🏼

I want to go back to Kaohsiung in November not because may Arirang World Tour ang BTS 😂 but because na miss ko ang sights, ang murang bilihin at hotel namin, and most of all, ang sarap nang food!😁 🍲

Yung mid-tier hotel namin pinag stayan na Php 3,000/room/night lang unbelievable talaga na may kasama nang buffet breakfast for 3.

Bakit walang ganun kalidad na mga hotels dito sa tin sa ganung price range!? Take me back to amazing Kaohsiung!

Our Day 1 of 10 🇹🇼Taiwan Vlog series will be up at 11AM today! Na home sick ako lol.. Vlog link: https://youtu.be/buX-SdKnGC0
