I don't even know who I am! kidding.... I'm someone who always thinks of where to go next.... but on a serious note. My name is Aldretch, I work as a Market Data Analyst for a financial tech firm for close 10 years. I live in the suburbs of crazy Manila, but enough about that boring stuff.

I enjoy meeting new people with the same interest and passion as mine. The prospect of catching the next flight to a city that i have never or the next plate of exotic dish been keeps me going. Most people think I'm too serious maybe they just don't know me. People know really knows me say i'm fun to be with. a little obsessive compulsive at time and always curious. We can talk about art, travel, film and anything that could benefit us both. : )
