About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, love and laugh. Have a lot of stories to tell not stuff to show. Share experiences not things. Never plan, it will just disappoint you. Just live by the moment.

ABOUT ME
Always hungry for adventure and learning different cultures. If I'm not at the summit, I'm at the sea. Traveling is my way of life. Deeply in love with mountaineering, swimming, skinny dipping, island hopping, fishing, and cycling. Loves good food, beer, wine, music, and good human conversation. At home, I used to cook, do yoga, and meditation. A coffee lover. Stay most of my time at the outdoors, breathing the cold air, tasting the salty sea breeze, watch the waves swiftly caressing the sand, listen to the gushing river, pitch my tent or hang my hammock and sleep under 5 billion stars. Call me stingy but I am not into fancy places manicured resorts. I would rather stay in midrange hotel and maximize my resources so I can go farther. Adores sunrise and sunset which gives me extraordinary energy. We can meet up for coffee or drinks. If you're lucky enough, we can travel together. I'll take you to my favorite piece of heaven on earth.

PHILOSOPHY

You Only Live Once (YOLO). That was an old belief. Now I live with the principle "you live everyday", so make the most of it. Life is too short. Never force yourself to be in a place where you are unhappy. Accept things that you cannot control. Live, love, laugh and let go. Acquire experiences not things. Enjoy every minute of your life as if it's the last! Count and share your blessings.
