A @bulgari moment in the Italian countryside 💚 Tuscany, Italy
Got a big dose of kulit for this rainy Thursday night 🌧 Journey with Me: HONGKONG is premiering on my youtube channel in a few mins! Hope you’re all staying safe and dry!! 🤍 feat. @madametussaudshongkong visit, movie marathons and tawanan 🤪 captured by @jololuarca Hong Kong
Loving all the elevated basics from the @hm #AW23 collection 🖤 Rome, Italy
Last few snaps to share of Italy! 🇮🇹
Just for anyone who’s looking to visit! As first timers in Amalfi, kami ni Sam we stayed in Sorrento and were super happy that we did! We loved the vibe of the town and it’s walkability! In our opinion – a great jumping off point for exploring the area!
Amalfi coast overall has beautiful views but it’s super touristy – so expect crowds, traffic and tight roads! Experiencing the drive all the way from Sorrento to Ravello (passing through Positano, Amalfi town) on scooter is 10/10. Although you need to be confident in driving to be able to enjoy – the roads are winding and have a lot of blind corners! Sam is obviously a professional angkas driver 🤪🤪 so it was a piece of cake for him. And I was a passenger princess / navigator hahaha.
Our biggest regret was Capri – we did an overnight but both agree that it’s only worth a day trip. Buuut the island has the best pasta – ravioli caprese!! 😋 (Swipe for when the food coma hits and when you realize you’ve gotta use the stairs)
Biggest advice: pack light (cobblestones are not loving for your luggages nor your wrists) annnnd line up to the popular food places 30mins before opening to avoid lines! 🍋
Happy travelling 🤗 !! Amalfi Coast, Italy

While the pressures of social media are still very present, with over 13.5 million users keeping a close eye on her, she manages to maintain mental peace through her strong will and passion for her advocacies, proving that she is more than just a pretty face.
MEGA’s October 2023 issue is available online via the sarisari.shopping website as well as in store from major National Bookstore and Fully Booked branches. It is also available at the SariSari pop-up store in Estancia Mall, Pasig.
