About Me

Hey! Welcome to Her Travel Stories! I’m excited to introduce myself as the face behind this travel blog! My name is Arjelyn Simyunn, a Virtual Assistant [VA] based in the Philippines.

Arjel in Taguig

For nearly a decade, I worked in the BPO industry in Cebu City. I started as a customer service representative and later became a Quality Assurance Specialist, in a multinational information technology company. In mid-2016, I resigned and decided it was time to pursue and practice my profession as a teacher. It was around this time when online selling became popular. Because I was raised by business-minded parents, I decided to give it a shot. It was a one-man team, and as exhausting as it was to handle queries, accept orders, negotiate with suppliers, and pack and ship out orders, I enjoyed it all! 

Years later, I got into the network marketing industry and was at it for a few years until the pandemic hit. When the world began to recover, I wanted to work again, but because of the dread we developed from COVID, I was afraid to go out. As a result, I began searching for online jobs. While browsing YouTube University [lol], I came across a video about teaching English online. As a teacher, it piqued my attention, so I applied, was accepted, and taught students from China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and Europe, and I loved every bit of it! When schools reopened face-to-face sessions, class bookings came a little slow, so I checked for other gigs online, and the rest was history. 

As a VA, I wear many hats. I have extensive experience with administrative work, lead generation, content management, CRM management, project management, graphic design, and other virtual assistance services. I also have some knowledge in email marketing, designing landing pages, setting up workflows on GoHighLevel, SEO, and website development.

How I got into blog writing and launched Her Travel Stories? 

Apart from being a Virtual Assistant, I enjoy traveling and sharing my experiences. Traveling allows me to meet new people, see beautiful places, and learn about diverse cultures. My passion for travel started when I was living in Cebu City for almost thirteen years long. I hope to provide a complete resource for travelers looking for memorable adventures, hidden gems, and amazing encounters through Her Travel Stories. From sharing my travel stories to providing practical bits of advice on planning itineraries and discovering unique destinations, my goal is to hopefully inspire you to travel, jump on extraordinary adventures, and just have fun!  

On my days off and when I’m not traveling, you’ll find me admiring the scenery, usually on a lovely beach, watching breathtaking sunsets, or simply looking at the calm seas, and beautiful mountains. I also enjoy binge-watching movies or K-Dramas, spending time with my family in the province, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I try to make time for the things that make me happy, peaceful, and content.
