I call myself a "Happy Loner Traveller" Why? It's because whenever I go to other places, I usually go out alone and I never felt sad but rather I'm happy because I could discover things and understand more of myself, it's like I'm with Me, trying to get to know myself better and still discovering my own secrets and potentials in life... I'm learning to appreciate the gifts that God gave for our eyes to see and that is the beauty of his world... and feel how much God loves us... and I'm also a hopeless romantic still waiting for my Fairy Princess to come and become the breath of my simple yet unique life... I have my own perception of True Great Love, I even wrote a book about it... and for me religion is not important, I believe that it's just a guide but rather, your FAITH to GOD is what really is significant because in the end you still decide for your own destiny. I'm a futuristic person meaning I really work hard to have a nice future for my family one day... I'm just an ordinary person dreaming and trying to make the impossible extraordinary things that one can achieve in his lifetime... And still, I enjoy the beauty that life can offer in every second of my life...
Macau China is a former Portuguese Colony and is now a Special Administrative Region in China just like Hong Kong. It has both the influences of Chinese and Portuguese Culture. 95% of the people residing here are Chinese and the rest are mixed races called Macanese which are Chinese with a mix of Portuguese. Macau is mainly known as the “Las Vegas Of Asia” as Gambling is one of its main attraction here. However, Macau’s Economy is still largely based on its Tourism.

But not all of the time I travel alone… Whenever I come back to a particular place, I’ll make sure that my friends should also see what I have admired in that specific destination. So I always organize the most affordable and quality vacation that all of us would enjoy. In the past 4 years, I have organized 5 vacations for my true friends! Whenever I organize trips for my friends and after witnessing their faces getting amazed on all the places that I bring them to, there’s that feeling within me, a

I’ve been touring around the Philippines, from Batanes to the southernmost tip of Mindanao for 5 years already and I have seen, felt and experienced a lot. Mostly, what our fellow Filipinos have been going through in terms of poverty. So I have built my advocacies through the shout of our fellow Filipinos, I condoled with their calling to our government. And I used what I already have, which is my love for writing, movie making, photography and travelling, I came up with my 3 missions in life and that is to promote Philippine tourism, so that I could allow more job opportunities in the tourism industry to

When I arrived at Subic Bay Freeport Zone, I went straight to

My Wildlife Encounter started when I stayed at Camayan Beach Resort which is inside Subic and owned by the same company who owns Ocean Adventure Park. It is a Beachfront resort where you can do kayak. And it’s just a 3 minute walk to Ocean Adventure Park where you can witness performing Dolphins, Sea Lions, and False Killer whales. I also visited ZOOBIC SAFARI, which is a mini-zoo and their main attraction here are Tiger encounters, Yes! You’ve read it right! They will place you inside a secure transportation and you will enter into their natural habitat. It’s a different approach and it is

... read moreThe last time I’ve visited Cagayan De Oro was last January 7 of 2011 and I had a blast with its extreme adventures like the White Water Rafting, as well as its delicious mouth-watering grilled foods in the street party held every weekends. Cagayan De Oro gave me a unique journey where no other place in the Philippines can make you experience, people’s golden smiles have also warmed my heart, it’s as if I am one of them… So in the later part of 2011, I heard a very heartbreaking news, that Typhoon Sendong, the last typhoon to hit the Philippines on 2011 has left nothing but a tremendous catastrophe to the people living in Cagayan De Oro especially to those near the Cagayan De Oro River where the popular White Water Rafting is held.

As soon as I arrived in CAGAYAN DE ORO airport and after checking in to Country Village Hotel, I immediately went to ECO-ADVENTURE to avail of their services and I chose the 700 Philippine pesos Package that will pass through 14 Major Rapids and will last up to 3 to 5 hours of White Water Rafting.

So, as I was rafting and every time I pass through a Major Rapid, I can’t help
... read moreEastern Mindanao is rich with so many things that most people in the Philippines know nothing about. It is bounded with so much mystery because few people, those only with the biggest curiosity explore this part of the Philippine Islands. In an unchartered place called HINATUAN lies a magical and enchanting river wherein if the ray of the Sun stumbles upon the still water of the River, it produces a glowing illumination bringing you in a different world, a kingdom where only Fairy Tales exist. This River has a Cave beneath it that is still undiscovered, many have attempted but none ever succeeded because the current is too strong inside of it. So until now, no one knows what lies beyond that unknown Cave. To get to the magical side of Hinatuan, one has to travel
