ABOUT ME

Hi ! A blessed morning to all.  My name is Cris Ferreras and welcome to Pinoy Ecotraveler, an eco-travelogue about my travel experiences and journey in life.
By profession I am a Teacher/Instructor in Psychology and had just resigned from my job last 2007 to become a freelancer in search for a more meaningful life.

I put up small computer Xerox/printing shop to cater the deserving students of Payatas. I love taking pictures from different places while traveling and became interested in developing and helping in promoting sustainability and greener environment.

 

Being an entrepreneur also I put up additional shop for the recycled paper craft products which I personally made & invented to showcase and share livelihood in our community and to others. This is also my advocacy in helping and creating solutions to waste management problems.

The Humble Beginning

Out of curiosity when I  started writing a blog. Way back 2007  whenever I had ample time to look for a computer shop  just to read and study on how to make a blog.  It's really difficult  to start  since I am so busy working in school.  It's so funny that  some  of my  writings are incomplete for so long time and then  I  came back to  continue writing .

Start of a Meaningful Name 

It was last 2015 when I went home from an African travel . This travel experiences had opened my mind and got interested in writing blogs about Ecopsychology and environmental care.

It was in Ghana, Africa particularly in Tamale where I gain understanding how disabled person can be more productive in his skills and talents. A blind person despite of his total blindness but still can make colorful beautiful chairs. So amazing and I was touched and almost cry. I am fortunate to learned from this disabled persons.When I went home I felt that I was reborn and started  creating useful products from recycled paper materials. With my meaningful travels where environment, livelihood and spiritual are the main concern, I thought that "pinoyecotraveler" name is best fitted for me. Within the  area of travel and environmental problems , I wanted to make a difference and contribute the best that I can by writing blogs base on the reality of life's journey, health, experiences and environmental awareness.
