🎉 Welcome to TeamMelker! Real Travel, Real Stories, Honest Views!

I’m an American living abroad, and she’s a Filipina exploring life with me across Thailand and the Philippines. Together, we share what it’s really like to live, travel, and eat our way through Southeast Asia — from the busy streets of Bangkok to the beautiful islands of the Philippines.

Here you’ll find real expat life, street food adventures, cost of living tips, and travel vlogs that go beyond the postcards. We share our journey of blending two cultures, finding joy in everyday life, and learning through the chaos and laughter.

Join us for authentic travel stories, local secrets, and honest insights from an American–Filipina perspective.

🏠🔌 EXPATS: Is your wiring safe?
We had a major scare recently at our home in Negros. What started as a simple power outage turned out to be charred, burning wires hidden behind our walls. This could have easily burned the house down.

Check out our latest video to see exactly what we found and why I’m planning to rewire the entire house when I arrive. Don't let a "wiring nightmare" happen to you!
