About Me!
Hi! I’m Keith Taylor, the curious heart and wandering feet behind Manila Uncovered. Born with a love for storytelling and a deep appreciation for culture, I created this blog to share my fascination with one of the most vibrant, misunderstood, and magnetic cities in the world Manila.
This blog is my way of showing you the layers of Manila that often go unnoticed: the history in its stones, the warmth in its people, and the beauty in its contradictions. Through photos, stories, and guides, I hope to give you a glimpse into the soul of the city the kind you can’t find on a postcard.
Whether you’re here to plan your first visit, reconnect with a familiar place, or just escape into a good travel read, I’m happy you’re here. Let’s uncover the real Manila together one story at a time.
See you on the streets (or in the jeepney).
