Get off Your Butt & Travel the World

Hey there, My name's Matthew Alberto. I was born in Manila, Philippines, near the slums of Santa Ana, but my family moved to Sydney Australia, where I grew up since I was a small kid. As a Filipino-Australian, and having an understanding of social, economic and environmental issues in both the developing and developed nations, I'm passionate about using my skills and passion to make the world a better place.

I've worked for a number of nonprofits and worldchanging organizations, including the United Nations in Bangladesh, charities in Australia and development organizations in the Philippines. But, after working in the nonprofit sector, I was extremely frustrated. I realized and began tapping into my "entrepreneurial spirit" which was often overlooked and undernourished.

This website is my testament to the idea of social entrepreneurship - the belief that you can do good and do well, that you can transform dreams into reality, as well as use entrepreneurial and business principles in changing the world. Click here to read more about Matthew
