At Mabuhay Vacations, our name is more than a greeting.
Mabuhay is a celebration of life, joy, hospitality, and making people feel truly welcome — values that are at the heart of everything we do.
My name is Liezel Castillo, and I created Mabuhay Vacations from my love of travel and my passion for sharing meaningful experiences with others. As a Filipino, I have always been drawn to the beauty of places that bring people together — where nature, food, culture, and connection create memories that last a lifetime.
As I explored more of the United States, I fell in love with the incredible variety it offers: vibrant cities, breathtaking coastlines, peaceful beaches, mountain escapes, redwood forests, scenic drives, hidden gems, and unforgettable food and hospitality. From iconic destinations to quieter places off the beaten path, I saw how travel here could feel both exciting and deeply personal.
What touched me most was how often those experiences reminded me of what I love about the Philippines — the warmth of the people, the beauty of the ocean, the joy of gathering, and the feeling of being welcomed. That sense of familiarity inspired me to create a travel company that brings those same values into every journey.
That is why I started Mabuhay Vacations: to create thoughtfully planned travel experiences across the U.S. that feel seamless, memorable, and full of heart. We want our clients to do more than visit a destination — we want them to truly experience it.
At Mabuhay Vacations, we invite you to explore the beauty of the U.S. with the warmth of Filipino hospitality.
Come see the beauty. Feel the welcome. Live the experience.
