CURRENT MISSION

To explore all of Asia and to meet and learn from as many well-traveled people as possible.

ABOUT ME

A twenty-something, Filipino-American looking to meet new people and make new friends with travelers all over the world. I'm a down-to-earth, approachable and friendly guy to all who respect me and are willing to do the same. I love meeting new people and talking about new experiences, and am on a mission now to explore as much of Asia and learn all I can about it during my stay in the Philippines.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
