Meet Vittorio

Born and raised in the Philippines, Vittorio came to Canada in 2019. While he loves his new home in Toronto, his insatiable appetite for travel keeps him on the road (and up in the air) most days of the year.

In 2023, he logged 111 flights, corresponding to almost 130,000 miles flown. He’s been to 106 countries and 251 airports, and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Vittorio uses Miles & Points to help offset the cost of his travels. He’d rather stretch the value of his points for more trips, rather than splurge on a few aspirational experiences.

When travelling, Vittorio likes to imbibe the essence of places, especially through their people and food.

He’s proud of his Filipino and Southeast Asian heritage, and he feels most at home when he’s travelling around Southeast Asia. Ask him about travelling in the region, and he’ll give you tips on each country.
