About Me

CURRENT MISSION

sowing seeds of compassion and joy

ABOUT ME

I'm half Filipina-half German, I studied anthropology in Germany and got interested to discover my mother's roots. I work for an NGO called "philippinenbüro" regarding issues like human rights, mining, indigenous peoples..
Aside from that I'm a yoga teacher, particularly and passionately AcroYoga (acroyoga.org)! It's hard to explain it in words, you need to experience it! I try to live integrative, vegetarian and/or vegan, pc and so on but I'm not radical about it.
About a year ago I started studying photojournalism in Hanover, Germany. That's what brought me to Denmark and now I'm finished and on the road again.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right,
forget about the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it.
- Harvey Mackay
