Hello, Names Edmund I'm currently working for the school board as an Educational Assistant helping kids of all ages. It has always been my dream to travel (especially South East Asia) and now i finally have an opportunity to do it. Me and my girlfriend Madeleine are planning to leave for the Philippines this July and spend 4-5 months traveling all over Asia. We look forward to meeting new people, building new friendships, helping the communities anyway we can and getting in touch with the beauty Asia has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on couch surfing for two main reasons. The first reason being it allows us to meet exciting new people and hopefully form a friendship. We are both very social people and building new bonds is what were all about. The second reason is because we traveling for such a long time it would be nice to meet people who are familiar with the area. This will be my first trip to Asia, we have traveled South America but always been wanting to go to Asia.

Interests

Some of our interests include: engaging in social activities, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, canoeing, kayaking, weight boarding, skateboarding, biking...the list goes on we love the outdoors so any outdoor activity we would like to do! Over all we truly love meeting new people that would be our first interest above all.

Music, Movies, and Books

We Love Music!!! and will listen to absolutely anything. currently trying to get into some country music but finding it difficult. Were both huge movie heads, Edmund has seen many many movies my favorite would probably be The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Forrest Gump, Training Day, Any Leonardo Di Caprio Movie, and Malcolm X. Madeleine is the book reader she reads all the time! but one book we both love to read is Shantaram.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing Madeleine has done was kayak among crocodiles deep in South American rain forest. She was super scared but she did it!. Edmund on the other hand has done some snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean with sharks and barracudas.

Teach, Learn, Share

We would like to Teach and Share some of our experiences with travelers we meet along the way. But our main goal is to Learn from others and keep an open mind.
