About Me

I am a proactive, adventurous, independent and outgoing person. I spent more than 3 years in Liberia for some challenging yet rewarding jobs that I would cherish for the rest of my life. When I was in Liberia, I got a chance to mingle with the locals and met many Filipino friends and Expats whom I've spent unforgettable and beautiful memories with. Their stories inspired me and motivated me to explore the world. During my stay in Africa, I learned that I should not complain anything about life. Rather, I should be grateful for whatever I have, even for small things.

I came backed home from China last year Sept 2018 to pursue my study for Master in Business Administration. Deciding to move to Cebu City is not new to me since I lived and stayed here for 3 years before I went to Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend May Wan introduced Couchsurfing to me. I haven’t heard of this before until I joined in. Being new to CS, I am excited to host guests and being hosted. I think this is also a way people around the world can meet and share their experiences on traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach finance and accounting stuff, if someone is interested. I have skills in cooking and baking and would love to share it to anyone. Currently studying MBA

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and baking. I can cook Filipino dish, pasta, bake cakes and prepare some desserts. I can also cook for my guests and pack food for those that I cannot be hosted. But right now, the space in my apartment is not conducive for baking and cooking so I will just buy food and share with my guests (just let me know what is your favorite food). I would like to share the Filipino culture to other people. If you wish to tour around Visayas region, please let me know. I can somehow help you with your itineraries. I speak Bisaya and Hiligaynon and have visited many places in Central and Western Visayas and some parts of Mindanao during my backpacking adventure.
