I know VISA can be hard.
I hope that can be changed sooner...

[nikkideyy @nikkideyy]

the day they announced breakpoint was going to be in london, everyone around me was hyped.

me? my stomach dropped.

my first thought was literally “sh*t. i need to start on my visa.”

that’s the thing nobody tells you about having a weak passport. you don’t get to just be excited about a trip. you get excited for like two seconds, and then the math starts. how much money do i need in my bank account to look “safe”? which documents? how early do i apply? what if i get rejected? what if i get rejected again?

because i have. a lot.

i got rejected for japan once. all i wanted was to see my childhood best friend, who’s been living there for almost 4 years. that was the whole plan. see her, eat good food, go home. rejected.

i got rejected for malaysia’s digital nomad visa too. so if you’ve been wondering why i’m always popping up in a different country every month… yeah. a lot of that is visa runs. every 30 days i have to leave malaysia just so i can come back and keep being close to the builders and communities i actually work with.

and even when i do have the right papers, the border is its own boss fight. i have way too many immigration horror stories. waiting for hours. getting pulled aside. being questioned like i’m a criminal, explaining every little detail of my trip to someone who’s clearly already made up their mind about me. i didn’t do anything wrong. my passport did all the talking before i even opened my mouth.

so london felt huge. it’s my first time going outside asia. and somehow i have to convince an embassy that a single filipina in her mid-20s is going there for a crypto conference and not to marry some random british guy. (i wish i was joking.)

so i treated it like a side quest. all year. i started traveling more, unlocking nearby countries that need visas, building up my travel history so maybe the next embassy would take me more seriously. i’ve traveled internationally more in less than a year than in my entire life before that. some of it was genuinely fun. but honestly? a lot of it was me trying to increase my surface area for luck. the main quest the whole time was just: get to london for breakpoint.

london has literally been my wallpaper since january. it’s on my vision board.

and i still got rejected once. i’m re-applying now.

here’s what that looks like for a 1-week trip. an absurd pile of paperwork. $200+ just to book an appointment at the embassy. then waiting anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months, refreshing my email, not knowing if i can actually go. all for a chance.

meanwhile an 18-year-old from the west can book a one-way ticket and wander around southeast asia for 6 months to find himself. no appointment. no interrogation. no anxiety.

that’s passport privilege. it’s real, and most people who have it never even notice.

visa appointments feel like a humiliation ritual. immigration lines feel like a trial you didn’t sign up for. and the worst part isn’t even the money or the paperwork. it’s all the opportunities you quietly miss because of where you happened to be born.

when i was younger, my only goal in life was to make enough money to be comfortable without ever having to leave my family and friends. that was the dream.

then i started seeing more of the world outside my hometown, and a lot of what i believed started to change. this whole visa thing is a big part of that. that’s a whole other post.

for now: london is still on my wallpaper. and there’s no way they’re not letting me in. if i have to re-apply again, i will. i’ll keep trying until the very last minute.

see you at breakpoint. 🤞
