Hey there! How’s the trip going so far?

My name is Adrian, I was born and raised in Milan, and my family is originally from the Philippines.

People close to me would say that I’m a calm, kind and reliable person, a thoughtful and caring friend always ready to pack his backpack and convince you to do the same and go on an adventure together.

I’m more an active listener rather than a charming storyteller. I truly enjoy listening to people and learning more about their personal journey.

I would love to get in touch with cool people, from all walks of life, no matter their age, race, gender or sexuality. I’m interested in making new friends and meaningful connections.

I’ve met so many wonderful people, since I started using this platform and I am very lucky and grateful to be able to call some of them my Friends now.

I enjoy long walks and good conversation, thrift shopping and contemporary art exhibitions.
I’m always down to get food and drinks at any time of the day. I want to try new things and get out of my comfort zone. I’m not really a party animal but if you are convincing enough and the vibe is right I can definitely join you on the dance floor or sing along at karaoke.

Let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is the perfect community where to find like minded people but also learn more about the beauty of diversity. I’d love to meet both locals and travelers, make good memories and share unique moments together.
