About Me

CURRENT MISSION

May I never be complete

ABOUT ME

I'm always down for an adventure. I love music, food, sports, and the outdoors. I was born in the Philippines but moved around a lot growing up, and now I'm addicted to travel and learning about the world.

Just got done with a working holiday in Oz, gonna do the same in New Zealand.

I'm also terrible at writing about myself haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a mean curry! I can teach you how to cook a bit, but by no means am I an expert. I love in-depth conversations about the world, and I could go on for hours abt nerdy things. I would love to learn how to play guitar or how to make beats. I also want to be a better surfer... real surfing, on water, not on couches. I do fine on couches.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Australia, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, United States, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, China, Philippines, United States
