The Great Midwest Trip Master Post

This is the master post for a series of notes and advice from my weeklong trip to the Midwest.

People tell you to travel and expand your mind. Until you actually expose yourself to new places, meet different people and face all sorts of different situations, you’re really quite limited as a creative individual.

I grew up in Manila and I firmly believe when I moved to the U.S. it changed me for the better. When you move from a town with a homogenous population to one as diverse as  the Bay Area, your horizons expand. I thought a continental move across the Pacific Ocean meant this particular trip to the Midwest really wouldn’t surprise me that much but I’m happy to report, I was wrong.
