ABOUT

I've visited most of the provinces of the Philippines as for my job as a marine ecologist. I am an avid freediver, an ocean lover, and I like sleeping in tents under the stars. :)
I've traveled solo in Bali last 2017,
Backpacked Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore in 2015,
Went to Vietnam on 2014,
And to Cambodia, Japan and South Korea last 2013,
I want to complete my South East Asia checklist soon.
