When I first wrote about what I live Dubai Hotels Dubai Downtown In two monkey travel groups, I describe it as a boutique hotel. It is a gallery, a community hub and a creative retreat in the middle of the city. This impression has not changed, but it has changed.
Now, this is my third time staying at the Indigo Hotel, this time I was upgraded to their Super Suite, which is both familiar and new on every visit. With the interior renovating the spinning artwork, the community atmosphere will only become stronger, and the hotel has become a hub for Dubai creators, entrepreneurs and storytellers.

Life Update: From World Travelers to Dubai Local
My life has changed a lot since I first released my Indigo Hotel feature. After spending more than a decade to travel to all 195 unaccredited countries and being a full-time digital nomad in my capacity as a full-time digital nomad, I officially moved to Dubai under the creator’s Golden Visa program.
This city is now my full-time base, and I focus on:
- Become a career as a full-time travel influencer and speaker
- Share stories that inspire Filipinos to explore global opportunities
- Launch projects and collaborations connecting travel, culture and communities
This makes these three more sense at the Indigo Hotel – it is exactly in line with the new chapter of my life.
From Guest to Speaker: A Complete Moment
This visit is not just about staying in one of my favorite hotels, but about being part of the community. I'm honored to have a panel discussion at Indigo Hotel Indigo (organized with Letswork), as well as incredible voices like Lays Laraya (@freakwentflyer) and Hamza Khan (Letswork CEO).
Being a life around solo travel and storytelling, being able to share my hotel experiences that have become part of my hotel on my trip to Dubai felt like a truly complete moment.

Why I keep coming back
I stay in hundreds of hotels around the world, but Dubai hotels are special. I keep coming back because:
- This is not only a hotel, but also a community within the city.
- Here is a seamless blend of design, art and community.
Now, this is not only a place for me to rest, but also to share my story with travelers and locals.

The third stay has been my most memorable stay – not just because of the comfort and creativity the hotel indigo has always provided, but because it has something to do with my own story of being a Dubai native.
