I'm a lifetime traveler. I'm still learning! Currently on my last year in medical school. Ever since I was a kid I always have this thing for traveling. I have traveled (in some) and still traveling to different places around my country and to other countries.

I want to explore more places, volunteer, try their food, do what the locals do, adventures, and all sorts of immersion. I want to meet people who are also have the same passion.

Traveling and the experience of going to other places in a manner of immersing yourself to the culture of that certain country or places. It's priceless!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to think that I'm currently treating every new experience as something like nothing before.
