CURRENT MISSION

Live life without boundaries!

ABOUT ME

My real name is Catherine, but everyone calls me Rina. I graduated from University of Asia and the Pacific with a degree in B.S. Entrepreneurship. I am studying again in the University of the Philippines taking up masters in Coastal Resource Management. I have my own business which is a barbershop and I am also working in our family business that is into agriculture.

I am a very sporty person, I have played volleyball since grade 5 and now I am an assistant coach for my alma mater. I love the ocean and all its wonders. I love to surf, free dive, snorkel and just bum around the beach. I am also spontaneous and I love meeting new people. I am very open-minded and am not scared of trying new things.

I love to laugh and just have fun. I love to drink (in moderation). haha! I am always waiting for the next adventure and where my feet will take me.

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese

I live my life without boundaries. I love the adventure and the experiences. I love learning from the people I meet and I I believe that one cannot stop learning. :)
