About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and learn many things about different people from all walks of life.

ABOUT ME

Always cheerful, always smiling, and always laughing! Funny, Friendly and Fun all packed into one!

PHILOSOPHY

Some philosophies I believe in...

. You only live once
. Strangers are just friends we haven't met yet
. It will all be ok in the end so if it's not ok it's not the end
. A rich man is not one who has the most, but one who needs the least
. If you don't believe in yourself, you can't expect others to believe in you
. Tradeoffs should not be accepted until you have tried hard enough
. You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing
. Always try to see the best in people
. Learn from others' mistakes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performing at the coburg samba festival 2010 in germany. In front of hundreds of people who were truly passionate about samba and just grooving to the beat. super Awesome experience.

Cliff jumping at cala san vicenz in majorca.

Traveling to Iceland where i was simply blown away by nature. beautiful waterfalls and unimaginably picturesque views at the Jökulsárlón iceberg lagoon.

Helping build houses for villagers affected by Typhoon Haiyan as part of the Gawad Kalinga Bayani Challenge 2014. A meaningful and rewarding experience. The kids helped us out as well and maintained such resilience despite the disaster. Truly admirable! Walang Iwanan - leave no one behind!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I know how to play most sports so I can probably teach you the various techniques and rules of the games.

Learn - About your way of life, your culture, and what matters to you.

Share - All my 24 years of experiences and hopefully you will gain new insights into life in general
