Born and mostly raised in the crazy and beautiful Metro Manila, Philippines. Got my first taste for international travel when I moved to the US in high school. I have since lived in 3 different states and am currently residing in the Midwest. I studied abroad in college which opened the doors for more traveling. Although introverted by nature, I love meeting people from different parts of the world and learning about their culture. My favorite way to learn about other cultures is through the food 😊
One of my medium term goals at the moment is to become fluent in Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
