Superstar Traveller

I'm a recurring perfectionist in workplace and a dedicated breadwinner. I was teaching at a local university in the Philippines when the pandemic hit worldwide. In 2021, I joined Upwork to try freelancing as a side hustle and went full-time in 2022. The next year, I started leisure traveling locally with my family. This sparked my hunger to learn about culture and see for myself what else can the world offer. I am still in the early years of my career journey and I want to share my backpacking experience once I get back to teaching (hopefully in my late 30s). I'm a big fan of leaving new people in a better state than when I first encountered them. I believe all of us can offer different perspectives from our origins and unique experiences. This is how we can offer a sense of comfort to strangers, easing the heaviness of our baggage while offering a window of opportunities to dream, learn, and grow.
