Fun fact about you

I am a mom of a sweet 2 year old boy and I teach spin classes. I am also a sucker for dance music. I can go dancing a full day and all I would need to last is food, water, amazing beats, and a silly dance partner.

What do you like most about traveling?

What I like most about traveling is the adventure that goes with it. We might know where we're going, but not actually what we're about to experience. And I always end up overwhelmed once I get there. I like that feeling and that realization that nature is so vast, wide, powerful, sensitive and beautiful at the same time. It humbles me and keeps my heart at peace.

What do you do when you're not traveling? 

When I'm not traveling, I like to go back to my life in the city. It's just always nice to be home when I am home. Getting back into routine: bonding with my family in our own home, meeting with my good friends and curating the perfect playlist for my weekend spin classes.

Any surprising things you bring with you when you travel?

The things I bring are only the essentials and my basic white clothing. But what might surprise people is the amount and variety of swimsuit I bring. And like I always say, each one has it's unique purpose.

What's the last trip you took?

I arranged an adventurous trip to Siargao to celebrate my 26th birthday and to celebrate the friendship I've had with the women who's unique, individual energy spark joy to people's lives.

Favorite hotel/accommodation you've stayed at

My favorite accommodation would be the Community Villa of Harana Surf Resort in Siargao. It is a big wooden villa, with 12 comfortable bunk beds, which I booked for 12 of my girlfriends including me. It was a very nice and fun experience for us. The bunk beds can also be booked individually for solo travelers which is an easy way of getting to meet new friends.

What's the one place you keep going back to:

The place I always keep going back to is Bali. It is an island of so many possibilities. There is unlimited number of things to see, taste, smell, hear and feel. I have had my most jaw dropping experiences in Bali. And there is still more to explore!

Top 3 places on your must-visit list: 

Well, for the places I have already been to, and I highly recommend, aside from my country the Philippines, those would be Bali, France and Spain. But if you meant my top 3 places that I must visit, those would be Hawaii, Greece and South Africa.

What do you like most about Wink?  

I like how Wink makes me feel taken cared of. From the moment I enter, to those quick minutes I lay down for my treatment, up until the time I leave, I feel pampered.

How does Wink help you with your travels? 

Most of the time I go on an adventure, it will be in the tropics where I wear the least amount of clothing. I'm either in sleeveless dress or in a bikini. So it's a big help when I feel comfortable and at ease with my own skin. That's when Wink comes in and makes sure there's nothing stopping me from exploring in comfort and confidence.
