MomTraNeur – Mother | Traveler | Entrepreneur

Hi! I’m Jennie Vee.

I’ve been blogging and traveling since 2000—yes, since the GeoCities era, when websites were colorful, internet connections were painfully slow, and “content creator” wasn’t even a job yet. Hehehe.

Before MomTraNeur, I wrote SexyNomad, which won the People’s Choice Award in the Blogs category at the 2006 Philippine Webby Awards. I was also one of Nuffnang’s featured bloggers in 2009.

Back then, I was beach-bumming around the Philippines and Asia whenever I could, then hustling at work at night. I wanted a life without the usual 9-to-5, the freedom to work from anywhere, and enough time to explore the world.

A lot has changed since then—but that restless, adventurous girl is still here.

Today, I’m a hands-on homeschooling mom, wife, writer, traveler, entrepreneur, resort and restaurant owner, online worker, amateur gardener, tarot reader, occasional luxury lover, and professional overthinker.

I now live in beautiful Oslob, Cebu, where my husband and I are raising our son and managing our family businesses, including Oslob New Village, Lami-an Restaurant & Bar, and Kubo Café. Somewhere between homeschooling, payroll, resort operations, client work, gardening, family adventures, and figuring out what to cook for dinner, I’m also trying to create a slower and more intentional life.

Some days, it actually feels slow.

Other days… not so much. Hehehe.

Why MomTraNeur?

MomTraNeur is the combination of the three biggest parts of my life:

Mother. Traveler. Entrepreneur.

But this blog is also about everything that happens in between—motherhood, marriage, business, budget travel, occasional indulgences, homeschooling, healing, spirituality, personal growth, honest reviews, practical how-to’s, and the beautifully messy reality of building a meaningful life.

I became a mother in my late 30s after my first marriage ended. I later found my second chance at love with my longtime best friend and life partner, who eventually became my husband.

So yes, I believe deeply in second chances—at love, at motherhood, and at life.

I believe life is more beautiful when we put God at the center, choose to see the good, and trust that there are more than enough blessings to go around. I also believe a meaningful life can include homegrown herbs, budget trips, quiet family moments, healing journeys, extravagant meals, and the occasional luxury splurge.

We contain multitudes, after all.

This blog is my personal journal and growing collection of stories—both old and new. I don’t have everything figured out, and my life is definitely not perfectly curated. But it is real, full, sometimes chaotic, and completely mine.

If one of my stories inspires you to take the trip, start over, pursue a dream, work from somewhere beautiful, believe in second chances, or simply laugh at your own wonderfully messy life, then this blog has done its job.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Stay awhile, explore, and feel free to be your true self here.

I’m so glad you found me. 😊
