TELL US A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I'm a 2-time world champion in hip hop dance! Won both times with my team UPeepz in 2016 and 2017.
WHETHER SAFELY EXPLORING INSIDE OR WANDERING OUTSIDE, WHAT ARE SOME ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE TO DO?
I can't get enough of bouldering. For now, I'm just doing it indoors in gyms but looking forward to climbing actual rocks in the great outdoors!
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOU TO SAFELY GET OUTDOORS, BE STRESS-FREE AND SPEND MORE TIME IN NATURE?
Very important! Being outdoors — sun on my face, sand in between my toes, and even twigs in my hair — is essential to recharging my batteries. Being outdoors makes me feel more like myself.
WHAT KIND OF WANDERING ADVENTURES MAKES YOU HAPPIEST?
Adventures that let me have the wide-eyed wonder of a kid and adventures that let me learn more about myself and the world around me.
WHERE WILL YOU WANDER OFF TO NEXT? WILL YOU BE CHASING SUNSETS, SPENDING MORE TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, KNOCKING OFF A BIG BUCKET LIST ITEM, OR EMBRACING THE TRULY FAMILIAR—SHARE WITH US!
Who knows what life has in store! I certainly don't but that's the best part of an adventure — it can begin anytime. But if I would plan my own, I'd hike a mountain in Benguet again just to breathe in that fresh, crisp air.
WHAT ARE SOME WAYS WE CAN BECOME MORE CONSCIOUS ADVENTURERS? ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO EMBRACE SLOW TRAVEL AND HAVE MORE MINDFUL ADVENTURES?
For me, it's to explore locally first. There is so much left to discover in the islands of the Philippines! A short car/bus/plane ride contributes way less CO2 than a long haul flight, making it, in a way, a lesser contributor to climate change while still getting a kick-ass adventure.
HOW DOES WINK HELP FREE-SPIRITED WANDERERS LIKE YOU TO BE WORRY-FREE AND HAPPY?
Sessions at Wink give me one less thing to worry about when I'm out experiencing the world. I feel more confident in my own skin and capable of anything!
