About Me

I'm an aspiring Filipino scientist trying to experience the world as low cost as possible. I dream of discovering the next big thing in pharma, but NOT to make the pharma bros rich.

I personally love travelling because it makes me feel small and insignificant. In every new place I visit, I am reminded of how beautiful our world is and the culture of the many different people that live in it. I take each trip as a learning opportunity - the history of a country/city, the story behind the buildings and the quirks of its people.

TDLR: I like learning about history, looking at beautiful buildings and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people from all cultures and walks of life. I think that’s one of the best ways to learn about a culture, whether your traveling or hosting a traveller!

Interests

I love to read books, cook, binge-watch TV shows and go on spontaneous trips. I consider myself quite adventurous, especially when it comes to food (lol). I live for spicy food and anything with curry.

Still a fan of Harry Potter after all these years, but I also appreciate a good comedy and psychological/criminal shows
