My illness shook Samar, made him anxious and soon we made up, and this time, with the promise of forever.

I think social media is a great space to use if you want to reach people. People have become addicted to social media which is a good thing for creators like me to showcase our talents and stories. We want to release one story every day to give them a bucket list that can motivate them to get out of the office or home to discover and explore hidden gems. Our formula is not to provide an exclusive luxury experience but rather something that is attainable and relatable. So we mostly cover neighborhood stories. Facebook was a great platform to start and where we are today is because of Facebook.”
