Welcome!
Hello, everyone!
I’m Roda, a writer and a diver (know more about me here). And soon I will be embarking on a journey around the Philippines to visit marine hotspots and top tourist destinations.
I want to show you how truly beautiful and rich our country is. But I also want to show you how climate change is affecting our paradise.
Please help me get this journey off the ground.
During the journey, I will be on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, to show you what I see and share my experiences with you. I will also blog about my observations and my conversations with local NGOs that have taken on the challenging task of protecting these places. My ultimate aim is to encourage people to take steps in minimizing the impact of their travels and daily lives on the environment.
Let me share with you the inspiration for this journey. In the documentary 180 South, American conservationist Kris Tompkins said: “I think first and foremost, people only protect the things they love. And you can’t love something unless you inherently identify with it.”
If my words and images can stir up love for our country and the natural beauty that we’re blessed with, then I am happy.
