Girl We Love: Julienne De Villa
Fun fact about you:
I (still) love shooting film! I have a Canon EF which I mostly use during my travels and I also have a vintage Polaroid Impulse which I use on special occasions. I sometimes use a disposable camera when traveling too!
What do you like most about traveling?
I love seeing amazing views and eating good food, for sure. But what I love when I travel is when I get to immerse in the culture and experience a piece of what’s it like to live in that place as a local, not as a tourist. I guess it makes the whole travel experience even more memorable

What do you do when you're not traveling?
I’m currently taking up a quick course in Sydney so I’m mostly in school during the weekdays but I’ll definitely explore the city during weekends.
Any surprising things you bring with you when you travel?
I bring a small bottle of ACV (apple cider vinegar) water when I can because I drink it every morning and I still try to keep up even when I’m traveling. Hehe
What's the last trip you took?
Siargao. I wanted to go to the beach as my despedida trip in the Philippines and Siargao did not disappoint.
Favorite hotel/accommodation you've stayed at?
There’s this nice hotel in Ubud that we randomly found while planning our Bali trip - it’s called Beji Ubud Hotel. They have this gorgeous infinity pool that overlooks the jungle, four other more scattered over the hotel, very spacious rooms and they have very affordable rates. It’s also my favourite because that’s where I celebrated my birthday at for this year :)
What's the one place you keep going back to?
So far none specifically. But in general, the beach. The sand, the sea, the palm trees , the sun - ah, just can’t get enough of it.
Top 3 places on your must-visit list:
South Africa, Amalfi Coast, Morocco
What do you like most about Wink?
I would say the staff. I believe that customer service is as important as the service itself. Because in my opinion, it’s actually what keeps me from coming back. I love Wink services but the staff being extremely nice really makes the whole experience amazing.
How does Wink help you with your travels?
Wink offers easy to book appointments even for my last minute travels! Couldn’t get any better than that. And man, I don’t have to worry about anything!
