Hello, my name is Evan Tan, a gay vegan Filipino migrant writing from around the world.

I lived in Metro Manila (Makati, specifically, during the last few years) for three decades. In 2021, I left the Philippines to fulfill a dream (and to be with the love of my life.)

I write about LGBT+ lifestyle and culture for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, as a contributing editor for their Lifestyle section.

My website is Writer in Manila, but I will write more intimate stuff here in my newsletter. I hope to hear from you too.
