Hi!

I’m Gaelle.

I’m a lifestyle content creator and writer based in Davao City. Most of the time you’ll find me sharing stories about everyday life, food spots around the city, and little ways to make things simpler and more enjoyable.

If you’re from Davao or just curious about what life here is like, think of me as your friendly guide and big sister on the internet. I share honest recommendations, personal lessons, and bits of inspiration from living and creating in this city I love.

Let’s connect!

Let’s be digital penpals!

There’s something really fun about seeing two cultures meet over food and realizing they actually make perfect sense together. Last day to try Chef Ja’s 5-course menu at Benjarong Davao. Gird your loins, you can now watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at @smlanangpremier! 👠 I’ve been loving going to @studioelysedavao lately for my self-care dates 😌 Welp 😂 I went to The Neighborhood Pop-Up Bazaar yesterday and ended up staying longer than I expected 👀👀👀 If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, @dusitd2davao’s hosting Bloom & Harvest: a curated pop-up featuring local artisans from today, April 10-12, 2026. 🍃 If you’re looking for ramen in Davao but want something a little different, try @oishiramenbai_dvo along Quimpo Blvd. I’m gonna be real with you, I recently realized na I might not be a fan of the Dubai Chewy Cookie. It’s just not something I’d look for. BUT I’m always willing to try new things. So when I heard that @yourcoffeecat has a creative take on the viral trend, I was all for it.
