Hi! My name is Bryan and I’m pleased to meet you.

BEYOND MANILA is a passion project I’ve been putting together after a bit of soul searching and reflection on my life and career in the aftermath of 2020. I like to create, curate, and lead meaningful tours and trips with people who have special interest in the sights, sounds, tastes, and cultures of the Philippines.

Let’s craft these journeys together!

BEYOND MANILA is a creative travel collaboration between tour leader and destination expert Bryan Ocampo and Intas Destinations Managing Director Sonia Lazo.

Their partnership started when Bryan guided for Sonia’s guests in 2011. Eventually, this opened opportunities for him to see, hear, smell, taste, and experience the Philippines through the trips he led for adventure travelers from Intas Destinations.

Intas Destinations is the leading full-service destination management company and tour operator in the Philippines. Since its establishment in 1981, it has been delivering exceptional, tailor-made experiences to its clients who are mostly based in Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

“It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It’s the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is good stuff.”

— Mr. Rogers
