About Me

**UPDATE 2022**

I have a couch in my room. If you are ok with that, I can host you. I live with 3 awesome flatmates who you can also meet. My place is not that big but you are more than welcome to stay. Mi casa, su casa. LGBT and 420 friendly house, Bring some munchies lol .. If you are not then this house is not for you.

Hi, I'm like marmite! an acquired taste lol. I am not a morning person. I am a slugabed and a fudgel. I never rush and I like taking my time.. So chill! Never rush and breathe! I like my coffee and procrastinate in the morning. Of course I am not like this when I’m in someone’s home. I respect people’s rules and space. I am a designer/maker and run my own small clothing brand from home. I sew and make different kinds of cool shit! mostly apparel. I have a lovely daughter that means the world to me. If I host you, You might see her sometimes when she visits me.

I am always on my bike when I am out and about, I think is the best way to see London it just depends on the weather. I love to cook and entertain so please taste my food at your own peril!. I like playing pool, bowling and basketball. I like to take photos of boring stuff. I also like playing scrabble (memorise the two letter words and you have a good chance of winning) I also enjoy a little bit of poker (All in!). I also make youtube videos/vblogs and I also don't mind showing tourist the real London. So if you need a host or a guide that can show you London just holla at your boy!

Please read my rules and regulations when it comes to being hosted. If not there's a big chance I will decline your request. I will only reply to requests if you read my profile and when you include my secret word in your introduction message.. So make sure to include that secret word otherwise it's instant decline!.

I am a proud Londoner. I have been living here for more than 25years. I like showing people around London. The places I enjoy to hang out and the things I enjoy. I know random facts about random things like the history of the place I visit and share it with people I meet. London is an amazing city if you know where to look. I specialise in the not so touristy places/off the beaten path parts of London. I have a good knowledge when it comes to places in South and South East London. So if you want to see the real London please contact me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I have a passion for travelling and meeting new people. I have not travelled a lot because I'm always worried that I cannot afford it but couchsurfing changed all that. I want to meet people that I can hang out with talk about their life experiences and by putting them up in my home hopefully they will do the same or return the favour when or if I go to their country. I love London and I am always willing to show visitors/tourist the real London from a local's perspective. Trust me I know a thing or two about this city as I have been living here for more than 22 years

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of things. Depends on my mood. Recently I am in this phase where I like to know everything about bikes sometimes it's about comics and my interest changes ever so often. I love all kinds of music. I used to be DJ on my teens and I write lyrics and poems. I like reading books on my downtime and watch movies. I am a film buff. I also like going to pub quizzes and I grow and nurture different plants.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music. I like a bit of everything from jazz to hiphop, rock to house. I am addicted to reggae and house music lately. It depends on my mood.

I read a lot of self improvement and inspirational books like The Alchemist from Paulo Coelho and The Switch. I also like crime novels from Martina Cole.

I like a bit of street photography as well. On my free time, I walk around the city and I take photos of boring/interesting stuff. It all depends on your perspective. I am a film buff too. I always watch a film every week. I am a sneaker collector I like to collect old retro stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I run away from home when I was 12 for two years. I went travelling all over Philippines.I was a rebel then. I always thought I can conquer the world.

I have done a lot of amazing stuff I reckon you just have to know me so I can tell you more

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you a bit of everything. From cooking, biking, sewing, making music, writing and composing songs. making and editing videos. A know a bit of photography. I can teach you how to use softwares like photoshop, lightroom and sony vegas. I can teach you how to play pool and all kinds of stuff.

In return you can probably teach me a lot too. Life is all about learning and sharing. That is how we grow as individuals. Don't be enslave to the things you know. Be open minded and be willing to learn and adapt. My heart is a flower that blooms every hour.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my life experience. I always thought that my life could be made into a film or a book. There are so many things that happen to me that you wouldn't think I experienced or overcome.

I am also a mean cook and I can make you some filipino dishes that you have never tasted before.
