Why travel, food, and art?
Travel
The best part about traveling is that there's always something new to learn. I've traveled and taken cheesy photos across 18 cities (across 4 continents!), and I'm excited for more.
Food
Growing up in the Philippines, I see food as a love language. So whether it's street food from my native home to Michelin-starred restaurants anywhere in the world, I'm willing to bite into it.
Art
Art is my first love, and will always have a special place in my heart. It's also the best way to learn about a culture, functioning as a window to their unique perspective of the world.
