Fiercely independent and ridiculously emotional, a perfect mix of both. A free spirit. I adore humour and love music and tea. Sensitive and shy, bold and emotional.

i’m the oldest child in my family, and also the shortest 😬. i have 2 sisters, one brother and about a million cousins. i am a college graduate who sometimes dreamed of being a marine biologist but ended up getting a degree in Nursing. i’ve cut my hair a dozen in my lifetime and every time i finish, i swore i would never do it again. i’ve eaten the same thing ever since i learned Japanese, Chinese and Korean food are delicious. i always want to drive with the windows down and i always have a song stuck in my head. ✨ if you’re into Meyer’s Briggs, i’m an ENFP. if you’re into astrology, i’m a Scorpio. and if you’re into hiking, camping, swimming, biking, running, eating snacks outside or taking pictures, we would probably make great friends ❤️

Solo travel experience

I have been to the Philippines twice, once for a month with 3 friends (all women), the second time by myself. I never felt unsafe and it’s one country I know that I will visit again in the future.

Solo travel experience

I traveled to the Philippines solo and felt safe. I stayed in Makati while in Manila, went to El Nido and Puerto Princessa. I absolutely loved the Philippines.

Solo travel experience

I did the Philippines (home for me too!) in May. I went to Siargao, Puerto Princesa, El Nido, and Coron. Siargao was without a doubt the best time I ever had. I went alone, but never once felt lonely there.

I loved Philippines. I stayed in Baguio most of the time which is up north, but the southern islands are gorgeous and I loved San Juan/la Union beach. For me, Manila was too crowded and busy and that part i didn’t love, but cash is king there, it rains a lot and people are usually super friendly. I made some amazing friends there.
