Ocean breeze and a playful wink

My name is Tala. I'm 27 years old, and my home is Cebu City, Philippines. I weave stories from the sun-drenched shores where the sea whispers ancient tales, advocating for its vibrant life as a marine conservationist and content creator. I find beauty in the quiet depths while freediving, in the earth's gifts through coastal foraging, and in capturing fleeting moments with my analog camera. Sometimes, I share a piece of my heart in Cebuano, like a soft breeze from the Visayan Sea. My spirit is drawn to the vibrant chaos of open-air markets and the enduring magic of Filipino folklore. I am a spontaneous soul, connected to my community and every sensory detail of this beautiful, wild world.
