Mini bio
How it started.
Yosh grew up with little money and thought travel was out of reach. Vins Carlos encouraged him to try. Their early trips brought missed boats, bad weather and unexpected costs, experiences that became the foundation of The Poor Traveler. Yosh says he started travel blogging in 2010.
Finding his audience.
The Poor Traveler grew around useful itineraries and lessons from mistakes. Yosh serves as editor-in-chief and marketing director, and the operation expanded into a small team in 2017. Its recognition includes USA Today’s Best Budget Travel Blog award and the 2017 E! Blog Award for Best Travel Blog.
Stories beyond the itinerary.
Alongside destination guides, Yosh writes personal travel stories at Yoshke.com and screenplays between trips. Writing under the name Ehdison M. Dimen, he won third prize in the 2022 Palanca Awards’ Dulang Pampelikula category for Ang Pananalangin sa Getsemani. In 2025, The Poor Traveler received the Global Youth Travel Awards’ Youth Travel Influencer of the Year honor.
