Back in 2004, there was a typhoon spinning right above the Philippines so I flew there, chartered a boat, and explored some of the most remote areas in Mindanao. \u00a0I was a bit nervous because there was still a Level 3 Travel Advisory for Americans NOT to travel there. \u00a0Yes, the Abu Sayyaf trained in Mindanao and tourists were getting kidnapped and killed at that time. \u00a0In the day, we would search for waves that were never surfed before. \u00a0At night, I would sleep with my passport in my pocket, and mask\/snorkel next to my bed. \u00a0And when I heard noises, I would grab my snorkel and get ready to jump into the ocean. \u00a0That was my way of surviving terrorism at that time. \u00a0But in the end, riding perfect waves like this felt 100% more rewarding because of the 1000% risk. \u00a0My friends called me crazy, and my Mom called me stupid. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n
