Ahoy and welcome! I’m Colin Carandang, a passionate travel advisor and Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) with a love for helping people stress less about planning and rediscover the joy of meaningful travel.
While I have a background in culinary arts, travel and trip planning have always been a meaningful part of my life. Both allow me to recharge, connect, and grow. Just as I once loved feeding people delicious, comforting food, I now love helping others explore new lands and unforgettable destinations.
I’ve completed certification through CLIA—Cruise Lines International Association, and earned the designation of Certified Cruise Counselor. I’ve also continued my education through training modules offered by trusted travel partners such as Virgin Voyages, AmaWaterways, and the Tourism Board of Switzerland.
What ”Alpas” means
“Alpas” is a Tagalog word that means to break free, to be released from limits, routines, or expectations. It speaks to freedom, personal liberation, and the kind of soulful reset that travel can offer.
At Alpas Travel, that spirit is at the heart of every journey I plan. Whether it’s a cruise through Europe, a cultural escape, or a custom itinerary made just for you, I’m here to help you break free from the ordinary and craft experiences that move you joyfully.
