Travel content creator JM Banquicio is taking a moment to celebrate one of his biggest milestones yet.
In a recent Instagram post, JM reflected on his journey as a travel vlogger after experiencing his first-ever long-haul flight in business class, a bucket-list moment he once only dreamed about.
Sharing photos from the trip, the content creator expressed gratitude for how far he has come since he began documenting his travels online.
Looking back on his early days as a vlogger, JM recalled creating travel videos featuring simple local trips, including a Boracay vlog made when the island reopened to tourists following the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I still remember when I started making travel vlogs, simple trips, documenting the experience, and just hoping that somehow, our videos could help someone plan their own travels too.
"Never really imagined that one day, this would also be part of the journey," he wrote.
While grateful for the opportunity to fly long-haul in business class, JM said the milestone would not have been possible without the support of the people who have been with him from the beginning.
"Super grateful for experiences like this, but even more grateful for everyone who has been part of the journey from the beginning.
"To my family, friends, and of course, our fam here who continue to watch, support, and travel with me through the vlogs, maraming maraming salamat," he added.
The travel creator also described the experience as a reminder to appreciate how far one has come while continuing to look forward to new adventures.
"From those first travel vlogs to my first long-haul Business Class experience, what a journey it has been. Thank You, Lord, for another experience I'll always remember.
"Here's to appreciating how far we've come, while still being excited for where the journey takes us next, fam."
JM has built a loyal following through his travel and lifestyle content. As of writing, his YouTube channel has amassed more than 228,000 subscribers and over 73.8 million lifetime views, reflecting the steady growth of the community that has followed his travels through the years.
