Get to Know Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet

Anton Diaz’s blog, OurAwesomePlanet.com, which he started in 2005, is the No. 1 food and travel media in the Philippines with millions of followers and readers. His advocacy is to promote the “Food and Travel Secrets of a Destination” and to inspire Filipinos to live an awesome life in the Philippines. Like a continuing autobiography of his family’s food and travel adventures, Anton created the blog as a love letter to his four sons—Aidan, Joshua, Raphael and Yugi. In 2015 when he realized that the kids were not reading the blog, he started doing video stories. The boys watch the videos over and over again. This motivated him to start his Facebook and Youtube video channels and adopt a mobile-video first approach to digital storytelling. He joins us this week to talk about his career as a travel blogger and plans for the future.
