About Me

I started traveling late at the age of 27 from May 25th, 2015- September 3rd, 2015 where I visited 10 countries in 13 weeks. I now caught the travel bug and I am trying to leave as soon as I can. I am currently residing in Makati, Philippines.

Update: I went back to the US in early 2017 and was homeless as I couch surfed and freeloaded with friends and family. That got old quick for them.

I made the decision in late 2017 to go on a world tour for at least 5 years starting in 2018.

2018 and onwards I will re-start my venture for traveling the world starting in Europe from January - February 2018, Philippines for a few months from April - August, while squeezing in Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

I never want to stop traveling and exploring the world.

Update 2: 2024 Living in the Philippines as a dual citizen but I still travel to other places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015 I finished my first major trip around Southeast Asia. I was able to do the trifecta of traveling. I traveled with my two best mates for 2 weeks, 8 weeks by myself, and 3 weeks with a girl. The times that really caught my attention on my trip were the dangerous parts, which include traversing across three cliffs with the only safety being an old rope and falling in love with my travel partner.

I have lived in different countries: Indonesia and the Philippines for 6 months each.

Backpacking Europe: 2018 for 35 days hit up 12 cities in 8 countries.

Future amazing trip: travel from 2015 - 2019, worked from 2020 - 2023.

Business man in 2024.
