About Two Monkeys Travel Group

Two Monkeys Travel Group was founded by Kach Medina Umandap in 2014 as a resource for Filipino digital nomads. Kach left a nine-to-five in 2013 to backpack Asia and launched the blog in late 2014; she now writes most posts herself and occasionally publishes vetted guest contributions. The site has grown large and active, with more than 2,900 posts in the sitemap and a publishing rate of about 15 pieces a month, several a week. Content focuses on practical guides - visas, money, balikbayan logistics and city guides - and posts are illustrated with Kach’s own photos and hands-on examples.

A relentless, practical handbook for Filipino digital nomads, not a glossy travelogue. Reading the Balikbayan checklist feels like standing next to a seasoned traveller who numbers the steps and the real costs, then hands you a printable list. The writing is direct and detail-rich, with concrete price comparisons, step-by-step checklists and links to sources, so you can act on the advice immediately. The site is extremely active, publishing several new guides each week and supporting a massive archive, which makes it excellent for planning visas, budget trips, returning-home logistics and other Philippines-specific travel problems. The founder’s credentials and firsthand tips give the site real authority.
