What’s to know…

ABOUT ME

I’ve lived in the urban jungle almost all my life, so I have come to appreciate the city in all its madness and beauty. I guess my passion for the city, with all its warts and the chaos around it, is that much that I have come to decide that I should share my passion for the city I’ve come to love the best way I know how.

ABOUT THIS SITE

It may have the looks and the posts that are typical of a travel blog, but The Urban Roamer’s Journal is more than that. For one thing, it’s one of the few travel blogs (if not the only blog) that deals with urban travel.

To be honest, I kinda hesitate in saying “travel” here because this blog goes beyond the travel aspect. I guess the more appropriate word here would be “journey.” Every entry in this blog is a journey not only of the visual sense, but also a journey in learning and understanding better the urban landscape that we tend to ignore or take for granted.

Whether it’s a high-rise tower or an old residence, a congested highway or a narrow esquinita, each landmark in this metropolis has a story waiting to be told. Thus, this blog aims to document the sights and stories behind these landmarks as a way to bring life and soul to a place considered to be cold and chaotic.

I know there may be other sites out there which basically covers the subjects that I’ll be tackling, but I hope I can bring my own brand of presenting them that I hope you’ll appreciate.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

THE LEGALITIES

I’m not really that stiff when it comes to legalities and all thatdue credit and to ask for permission if you would like to lift some words or photos from the site. 

That’s all I ask in return for the work I’ve put on this site.
