Currently based in Dubai, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people and learning new languages. I love to plan my own trips but leave room for some flexibility. I am a nature lover who likes to swim and hike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am the type who never really appreciates staying in expensive places. I believe that in order for a person to really see the beauty of a place, he/she should interact well with the people, learn a bit of their language and culture, and quite possibly, make friends. It is very unlikely that you will get that when you stay in a hotel. Plus, I am a thrifty person when I travel so staying in hotels is out of the equation.

I like to meet new people and discover things. Most peoples' first impression about me is that I am a serious guy. I just tend to take things slow until I find it in myself that I am comfortable with the person.

Interests

I love to sing. It is one thing that we Filipinos enjoy doing. I also love to learn new languages like Spanish and Portuguese. I find Spanish very easy to learn since some of our words in Filipino are borrowed from it. I am also studying Portuguese because I am dreaming that one day, I will be able to visit Rio and Sao Paulo in Brazil, and Porto and Lisbon in Portugal.

I like to travel solo and try new things. ;)
