About Me

I always have that wanderlust in me. My undergrad course opened my interest in traveling as I ventured in the knitty-gritty of forestry/geography which led to my current profession. Needless to say, I am passionate about nature and technology. I have been a park interpreter in the university and had a great time introducing the vast flora and fauna of one of the majestic rainforests in the Philippines to local and international tourists.

I travelled a lot in the past 10 years mostly in the Philippines and the Middle East, latest was in some parts of Europe. Traveling for me is a way of life. I’d like to widen my understanding of the diversity of life on a hands-on experience. When not outdoors, I spend most of my weekend in the kitchen experimenting on dishes I watched in the food network/masterchef/ironchef and recreating my own style especially with pasta. I dream to be a restaurateur and put up my own business in the near future so I am currently keen into traveling the world to learn a lot.
