There is nothing quite like investing into an emergency management department in the few days leading up to the beginning of hurricane season in a year that is predicted to be very active for hurricanes. That being said, itContinue reading “Finding my footing”

In my first week in the Philippines I have finished my open water diver certification and begun my advanced training. The volunteers and staff are amazing people and I’m making friends easily and quickly. This past weekend we rented bikes and went off into the mountains to cliff dive a water fall. This has easilyContinue reading “Week 1 in the Philippines”
