CURRENT MISSION

Doing PhD now in Budapest, Hungary!!

ABOUT ME

Straightforward, Kind and open minded. Open to changes and critical thinker. Currently I am a PhD Student in Budapest, Hungary and formerly based in Davao City, Philippines. Being somewhat "deprived" of travelling when I was young, it was only in 2012 that I started to travel. Mostly the motives of my travel are for academic purposes as my work doesn't allow me to splurge. Also love to help others if they are in need like for example if they want to integrate closely to Philippine culture etc. Been doing photography since 2008, I got passion especially in Photojournalism and Street Photography because it allows you to think outside the box and step out from comfort zones. Hope to meet people who share my interest in travel and learning diverse cultures. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem! Seize the day. Live life to the fullest. Be responsible to own actions
