ABOUT ME

I travel for the love of three things: food, culture and adrenaline. I find utmost joy in discovering, learning and loving things that are once alien to me.

I live for the culture shocks and the unfamiliar. There's really nothing like experiencing something people would normally ignore or run from out of instinct. When everyone's rushing to the famous this or famous that, I'd rather sneak out of the tour group and talk to the locals, tinker at the most peculiar apparatus or lunch barehand on snakes and frogs.

I'm a backpacker at heart and have done my fair share of crazies, mostly for the sake of photography. Drag me to see the mountains and I wouldn't care if we sleep on the floor!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once trailed a King Cobra for photography's sake! I followed a snake hunter back in my hometown in deep mud and dirt for a day. I was literally a few feet from it's pangs just to get the shot!

Teach, Learn, Share

My education and passion warrant me a little knowledge on photography. I'd be happy to share anything I can about this topic.

I'm really interested in learning more about surfing, skimboarding and longboarding. The Philippines is practically teeming with beaches and mountains. I'd tour anyone for lessons on these :D
