A Franco-Philippine Story
Tita’s Travel was born from a meeting in Manila in 2018. Charly, a French architect and lifelong traveler, fell in love with Diana—and with the Philippines. What began as a personal story quickly grew into a shared dream: to open the doors of Filipino life to travelers, not as spectators, but as family.
Living Between Two Worlds
Since 2018, we have been living between France and the Philippines, building bridges between our two cultures. For Charly, who grew up in Africa and Asia before becoming an interior architect in Paris, the Philippines felt like a return to the essence of travel: human connection, discovery, and simplicity. Welcomed into Diana’s family on the island of Biliran, he experienced the warmth, generosity, and laughter of everyday Filipino life—and knew this was something worth sharing.

Our Promise
We don’t offer a country to visit. We offer people to meet. Through Tita’s Travel, you will not only discover the Philippines—you will understand the Filipinos.
Our values
Authenticity
We believe the most meaningful travel happens when you step into real life, not staged performances. With us, there are no filters, no tourist shows—just genuine encounters with families who open their doors and their hearts.
Respect
Every immersion is based on mutual respect. Respect for local traditions, for the rhythm of family life, and for the environment that sustains it. Guests are welcomed as family, not as clients.
Human Impact
Travel should give back. By choosing Tita’s Travel, you directly support local families and communities. Your presence helps sustain livelihoods, encourages cultural pride, and fosters lasting bonds across cultures.
Simplicity
Sometimes the most extraordinary moments are the simplest ones: sharing a meal, joining a local celebration, walking barefoot along a path. We value these small moments, because they carry the essence of life in the Philippines.
Our mission
Building Bridges Between Cultures
We believe travel should be about people, not places. Our mission is to create meaningful connections between travelers and Filipino families, where curiosity meets generosity, and every encounter becomes a shared story.
Redefining the Way We Travel
We want to move beyond traditional tourism. By choosing immersion, travelers don’t just visit the Philippines—they live it. Together with local families, they experience daily life, learn traditions, and build bonds that last far beyond the journey.
“You are always welcome in our home. When you come to Biliran, you don’t just visit—you become part of our family.“ – Diane
