I’m relatively new to this app because I usually stay at hostels and other backpackers usually recommend other hostels they’ve stayed in. I’ve just found out about this app and I think it’s a great way to make friends and definitely a new experience.

I had a good paying job in the corporate world, became a manager at the age of 22 when I got my masters degree, but something just didn’t feel right. So I quit my job moved to an island and lived in a hostel for 8 months. I’m starting a new chapter in my life and it involves a lot of traveling.

I’m a sociable person and I like to make new friends. I’ve worked in a family party hostel and have made friends from all over the world.

Pride myself on my ability to drink rum for multiple days in advance. I can say “why not” in 15 different languages. I only drink beer on sober nights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience new things, share some of my memories, and learn from the hosts I will meet in the foreseeable future.

Interests

Making friends and meeting new people. I like conversations over a few drinks.

• partying
• drinking
• drinking games
• traveling
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Arctic Monkeys, Panama, Country Music. But honestly I like all types of music. It really depends on my mood.

Movies: Rebel Without A Cause. Rain Man. Casablanca. I like the classics! Something feels authentic about black and white movies and movies without a lot of CGI effects or what I call “popcorn movies.” I like simple but deep storylines.

Books: I like reading Non-Fictions and Autobiographies. I like getting inside someone else’s life and experiences and be inspired by them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got peed on by an English Girl at a party hostel.
Passed out at 8 pm and woke up with dicks drawn on my face on Christmas Eve.
Jumped into a pool with no water.
Chugged one bottle (1L) of brandy and nearly died.
Surfed at 5 am while still drunk and nearly died again.
All jokes aside, the most amazing thing I’ve done was quit my 8-5 job and moved to Siargao Island.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot of drinking games and different cultures in the Philippines that you’ve probably never heard of.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you and buy you drinks. But mostly drunk and embarrassing stories.
