“Bonjour HONFLEUR 🇫🇷 Exploring towns outside of Paris and it’s not hard not hard to see why Honfleur is one of the most visited towns in France! What a pretty port town,” she said.
“Perfect breakfast spot by the Seine estuary thanks to our guide, everyone’s favorite Pinoy driver @rolexparisdriver,” she added.

“This is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It can hold 4.5 million seed samples! Now, it holds seeds from 5,000 global plant species, w 156,000 varieties of wheat, 40,000 varieties of bean, all varieties of RICE [and][ even recipes of the biggest global food brands,” she said, informing her followers that “the Philippines has even deposited more than 2,000 accessions of [nine] species in the Seed Vault!”
“In 2015, Syrian scientists asked for seeds from the seed vault to replant what was lost during the civil war. This can save humanity,” she explained. “No one is allowed in the vault, photos inside from the Svalbard museum nearby.” JB
