Jam Ibay

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I am a city girl who finds joy in escaping to nearby beaches every once in a while. I worked in the advertising industry for a few years as a Producer and Production Designer.

When I am not busy adulting, I am always looking for small adventures since I get bored really easily and I always take my friends with me. You know, whoever is up for it. This year, I may have gotten too far — as far as New York City to be with my love, Gerald. And since I just changed last names and zip codes and am currently adjusting to the new life in the big apple, I’m hitting pause on adulting and focusing on settling down.

I recently opened a blog (www.ibayjam.com) because I wanted to have an outlet for all my thoughts and experiences, somewhat an extension of myself. I am also maintaining my Instagram page (@ibayjam_) where I post photographs that I took - people, places, and food. In both media, I will be writing about the things that I am passionate about – be it my relationship, my love for food and travel, my past and future work and career, or my never ending quest to find a piece of home in a foreign land. You can expect honesty and reality from me.
