My Travel Story

by: Deo Gregore Pizarro Start Date: Jan 22, 2025 - End Date: May 21, 2025

Hello World!

My name is Deo, and I am a passionate Yu-Gi-Oh player in Davao City, Philippines. I have been playing and honing my skills in Yu-Gi-Oh for the past 16 years. The card game has helped me mature and get through some difficult moments in my life. I mainly compete locally and am proud to be part of a growing, tight-knit trading community in my city.

Recently, I was invited to take a chance to showcase my skills on a bigger stage. My best friend is planning on competing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Open Tournament Hong Kong 2025 tournament this upcoming March 22 & 23, and he is inviting me to compete with him. This is one of the biggest Yu-gi-oh tournaments in Asia, with about 500 participants from around Asia.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test the skills I’ve honed for over a decade against some of the best players in the world. My best friend and I always dreamed of competing at least once in these big tournaments. But as much as I’d love to go, the trip is financially out of reach. Most of my income goes toward helping my family and paying off my student loans.

That’s why I’m reaching out to the world for help. Your generous support can help me make this dream into a reality. I’m kindly asking for help funding my 5-day trip to Hong Kong this March. The total cost is estimated to be around 600 USD. Your contributions will go toward:

  • Flight tickets
  • Lodging
  • Tournament entrance fees
  • Food and daily expenses
Any form of help will take me a step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream I've held. Your support won’t just help me compete, but it will also inspire others in my community to pursue their passions and reach high above the stars.

Thank you for your generosity and hearing my story. Let's take home the win together!
 
Best regards,
Deo
