Five years later, in 2012, I came accross Flyertalk, the largest travel community online. By reading all the tips from other members, I was able to learn how I could fly in business and first class inexpensively, simply by redeeming miles. In September of the same year, having booked my first trip in premium class for travel in February 2013, I then decided it was time to start this website. So there it was, a combination of my being a frequent traveller (mostly thru the Singelresor’s groups) and being able to fly in business and first class (thanks to the Flyertalkers) has resulted to my own website: The Filipino Traveler!
