Welcome to my WORLD!!!
Hi everyone! My name is IÑIGO and welcome to my PHOTOBLOG! ************************************* I'm a Filipino boy, born in the Philippines, but growing up in the UAE. I'm studying in an Indian-managed school, with a British curriculum. It's a mix of cultures, but I'm loving the adventures. I hope you enjoy my posts :) ************************************ This site was originally a private journal for my parents. Since we moved to another country, my friends and relatives back home are using this site to update themselves about me. So if you are not part of my gang, and is not interested about my posts, it is okay to leave. Otherwise, if you are enjoying my site, I say... "thank you!" Please feel free to move around. Everyone is welcome here. Thanks for the visit!
