SiargaoSunrise, et tropisk strandhus i Filippinerne

I was born in the Philippines but have lived most of my life in California where I reside in the North San Diego Coastal town of Solana Beach. I enjoy traveling with friends and family and experiencing different places not only for their physical aspects but for the culture and the people. I love meeting people and firmly believe that we are more alike than we are different.

I have traveled throughout the world to experience a surfing lifestyle. I traveled often to the Philippines because it is my homeland but also because I was constantly looking for new surfing spots. I first traveled to Siargao Island in 2001 and ventured to the little surfed area to the north. I discovered the property which I now own and was enthralled by it. It reminded me of the areas around Kauai, Hawaii which is one my favorite spots in the world. But this area has much more to offer than surfing. The people are friendly, the food is mostly fresh and the natural beauty is inspiring.

The Northern part of Siargao is still largely untouched by major development, which has now taken place in the southern areas of the island. Our area is quiet and less crowded. Most of the attractions here deal with enjoying nature and interacting with the local people. For surfing there are a very wide variety of surf breaks in the area and they are challenging with far less people in the water. There are numerous water related activities like snorkeling, fishing and diving.
