    Fixing my house and going around 🛠🌊
    Had to take a few days to fix and clean my little “kubo” (native house in Filipino) that suffered from the big typhon last year. I now have an unique design of a bending door for my entrance !
    In a general way the island is recovering very fast from Covid and Typhon, even though a lot lf coconut trees are missing and not all houses have been fixed yet. Rainy saison is coming, so enjoying sunny moment with some surf, beach and chill time with friends.
