I recently quit my 9AM-5PM job to travel around the word! I was born and raised in the Philippines then lived in Chicago and Argentina for work as a software engineer/senior project manager. I love traveling, meeting people, discovering new places, walking around a city I've never set foot on, enjoying the sunset with a beer, cook and learn new recipes, and making memorable experiences with my girlfriend and with the people I love.

Right now I'm a full time traveler and co-founder of Map The Unknown. We post travel videos to encourage people to discover what they want, take the leap to do what they love, enjoy the journey achieving it, and have a new way to see the world and enjoy their life. You can check-out our videos in our:
