My personal Substack

The word "gallibanting" is used by Filipino parents concerned with their kids gallivanting around town with their friends who were up to no good. Come along on my journeys to run, write, snack, and "gallibant" to discover new things.

Whether you share a passion for running or just a passion for self-expression, I think you'll enjoy Stephanie's Substack.
