Mission #1642 is already making waves across the Philippines. In 2025, Kach was invited to speak at the University of Santo Tomas and the Lyceum of the Philippines University, sharing not only her journey of visiting all 195 countries but also the lessons behind it: perseverance, resourcefulness, and turning the Philippine passport into a gateway rather than a limitation. These talks inspired students to see their skills, heritage, and identity as tools to break barriers, making global mobility feel attainable for ordinary Filipinos.”

Support our Mission

This isn’t just a guide, it’s a movement. As someone who has traveled to all 195 countries on a Philippine passport, I’ve learned firsthand that being born in the Global South doesn’t mean we have to stay behind.

We created this Digital Nomad booklet to open doors, spark curiosity, and equip dreamers, especially Filipinos, with the knowledge to work remotely, travel the world, and rewrite their future.

Every purchase of this booklet contributes directly to my #DigitalNomadBarangay project, an initiative to build a co-working space and digital skills training center in El Nido, Palawan. This will be a safe haven for future Filipino digital nomads to learn, grow, and launch remote careers while staying rooted in their communities.

Fund a Future

Purchase a copy or donate extra copies to your school library. Whether it’s one booklet or one thousand pesos, your donation helps us distribute this knowledge to places that need it most, planting seeds of wanderlust, tech skills, and independence in the next generation.

Every donation helps distribute handbooks and build #DigitalNomadBarangay.
