#‎RoadTripperMonday‬ – a weekly feature of our very own Road Tripper.

Today, let’s get to know one of our very first Road Tripper during our Tara Let’s Go days – Herge Miltom Salangad or Tom. We met Tom back in 2014 when we organized our first road trip to the enchanting province of Quirino. Since that time, Tom has become of our coolest main stay road trippers. Now, he forms part of our Travel Managers! With his insane humor and infectious enthusiasm for adventure, for sure there will never be any boring moments with him.

Thanks Tom for allowing us to get to know you better!

1) What do you do for a living?

5). If you can be teleported anywhere around the world, where would that be and why?
