Hobbies

Freediving

Intrigued by videos of people diving to the ocean floor without scuba gear, I discovered the exhilarating sport of freediving. Captivated by its challenge and beauty, I dedicated myself to mastering it. Now, in my free time, I explore various freediving spots in the Philippines with my friends and wife. Looking ahead, I am excited to expand my horizons by learning to surf.

Hiking

The Philippines' mountainous terrain and lush landscapes, adorned with natural waterfalls and rivers, offer the perfect backdrop for hiking and immersing oneself in nature's beauty. After a rewarding hike, taking a refreshing dip in these pristine waters is the perfect way to unwind. Camping overnight allows you to marvel at the clear, starlit sky, free from city lights, and drift off to sleep with the soothing sounds of the jungle.

Binge Watching

When I'm seeking a break from my routine without venturing out, I enjoy immersing myself in movies, TV series, and anime. I'm particularly drawn to psychological, sci-fi, and mystery genres, especially those that offer insights and knowledge applicable to real-world situations. These narratives not only entertain but also inspire and expand my understanding.
