On May 14, 2024, Filipino World Travelers (FWT) joined the Nomadmania Meeting at
the Mail Exchange Hotel in Melbourne, Australia. Leading the group was Dondon Bales,
founder of FWT, along with Affiliates Gary Gonzales and Rolmar Baldonado. They
connected with over 30 fellow travel lovers from Nomadmania, Couchsurfing, and Travel
Massive. Dondon Bales is also the Nomadmania co-envoy for Australia together with Yan Pun, as they both organized the event.
A highlight of the event was meeting Ian Cumming, founder of Travel Massive, a global
network connecting people in the travel industry. The event was a great opportunity for
sharing stories, making new friends, and discussing travel trends.
The participation of Filipino World Travelers shows their growing presence in the global
travel scene. Events like these inspire more Filipinos to explore the world and join the
global travel community.
