Pg. 03Podcast / Vlog
The World Through My Eyes
A daily podcast/vlog about what it is to arrive — and stay — in Germany. Bureaucracy, language, friendship, winter, work, belonging. Honest conversations and short videos with people who built a life between two countries.
Open for collaboration & affiliate partnerships — if your brand serves migrants, language learners, or life in Germany, let's talk.
Coming Soon
I'm just getting started — no episodes are recorded yet, but here's what I'm planning to talk about first:
- 01Coming soon
Being in a long-distance relationship, before I migrated
How we built trust and stayed connected across time zones and borders, long before I ever set foot in Germany.
- 02Coming soon
Being a wife to a German national
What it's really like building a marriage and a shared life across two cultures.
- 03Coming soon
Finding my place with my in-laws
Learning the customs, the language, and the quiet moments of becoming part of a German family.
- 04Coming soon
Learning the German language
The slow, sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating road from A1 to actually being understood.
- 05Coming soon
Meeting fellow Filipinos
Finding pieces of home in the Filipino community here in Germany — the food, the language, the familiarity.
- 06Coming soon
Building confidence, facing criticism and discrimination
Honest talk about the harder days — the judgment, the stereotypes, and learning to stand my ground.
- 07Coming soon
Venturing into being an entrepreneur
Taking the leap from employee to building something of my own, one small step at a time.

Pronunciation & Accent
Sound clearer and be understood the first time, with targeted work on the sounds that trip you up.

Questions people ask
+Do you guarantee the visa will be approved?
No. I am not a lawyer or an embassy official. I share guidance based on my own visa application experience — my first visa application was approved. I offer practical document support and honest advice, but the final decision belongs to the embassy.
+Can you help in English or Filipino?
Yes.
+How much do you charge?
First 20-minute call is free, then priced per session.
Pg. 08Affiliate & Reseller
Promote products I genuinely trust.
I work with brands and services that fit the community around helloellastudio.com — language learners, newcomers to Germany, travelers, and small businesses.
What I look for
Audience fit
It has to be useful to language learners, newcomers, travelers, or small businesses.
Honest value
I only promote things I've used or would happily recommend to a friend.
Clear terms
Transparent commissions, tracking, and expectations from the start.
Long-term fit
I'd rather build a partnership that lasts than post one paid link.
Case studyComing soon — WU application under review

A capital-light launch model bringing Western Union's global remittance service into a local community — a sub-agent kiosk hosted inside Selbe Kiosk Asian Asiatischen Lebensmittel, a high-traffic Asian grocery shop in Vreden. I built the marketing strategy, buyer research, outbound campaign plan, and a sample platform for this project during my Ironhack Marketing course.
