CURRENT MISSION

To explore the beauty and wonders of the world before it becomes extinct...

ABOUT ME

I'm an assertive, kind-hearted, sensible, easygoing, helpful and a down-to-earth person. I believe maturity is measured by experiences not by age. I'm one-of-a-kind, extraordinary. I can guarantee that you'll never meet anyone else like me.

I am a happy person and a positive thinker. I always try my best to be optimistic. I plan to reach my goals, be successful, and travel the world. Count on it.

I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places, and trying new things. I want to enjoy every passing minute of my life here on earth and I am fortunate to have a second chance of my life. I am always in search of something... things to do, things to learn, things to enjoy and places to explore.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not do unto others if you do not want to do it unto you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) I have lost my passport in Singapore and recovered it the next day.

2) Had a minor accident in Cebu City while travelling which caused me a sprained left ankle but the show must go on!

3) Feeding a baby elephant in Thailand's Elephant Village (the elephant ate and swallow the bulk of bananas in 5 seconds!)

4) I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for poor people

I want to see and experience more great things in my upcoming trips.
