About

Hi, I'm Lord Acuña a.k.a. Lord Around The World!

I was born in Manila and grew up in Rizal, Philippines. While in high school, I developed an interest in building websites and discovered a passion for coding. That eventually led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, where I graduated in 2009.

My first international trip to Bangkok, Thailand in 2011 sparked a lifelong passion for travel and exploring different cultures. Five years later, during my second visit to the city, I came up with the idea for Lord Around The World over lunch. Ever since, I have been documenting my travels and experiences across the globe.

Life Abroad

For a decade, I lived and worked in Singapore, gaining valuable international experience both professionally and personally. As a web developer, I worked on projects ranging from small business websites to large, high-traffic platforms.

Living in a city with one of the world's best airports made it easy to explore new destinations. This further fuelled my passion for travel, leading me to journey throughout Asia and beyond.

The Next Chapter

Today, Lord Around The World continues to share detailed travel guides, honest reviews, and practical tips based on my own experiences. Whether you're planning your first international trip or looking for inspiration for your next adventure, I hope my guides help you travel with more confidence.
