Here’s another interesting story about someone who moved from Manila to La Union! I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Carms during my brief trip to LU. We talked about the challenges of being a freelancer, figuring life out in this stage of our lives and more. What struck me was that she chose to leave college, a path foreign to many Filipinos that grew up in the traditional household where a college degree was a non-negotiable. She is the creative director of Munimuni, a model, an occasional tattoo artist…and prefers the sunrise over the sunset?!
I got on a zoom call with her and despite the brownout in LU at that time, we luckily got to record this enlightening conversation.
