One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Valley of Vermillion Cliffs, Natural Bridges National Park, White Sands National Park, Scenery between 12-24 & I-95 aka Bryce Canyon National Park and Blanding, Canyon de Chelly.

Ran the March 15 Barcelona Marathon in 2015, very emotional feeling to cross that finish line after 2 months and half of training.

Living in the Philippines, missing the people, the hecticness, the beauty

Teach, Learn, Share

Competing in the 2017 Brussels marathon, hit me up if you're contemplating about competing as well ! We could train together.

I probably can tutor some languages as well as kitesurfing safety and kite handling basics
