I started late in the travelling business--been out of my province only during college, and since then the bug won't go away. I'm naturally introspective, easy-going, but sometimes makes a fool of myself (who doesn't?) . I like good, intelligent conversations about cultures, movies, TV, history, travel experiences, trivia--especially over beer or other formulations of ethanol. I like showcasing my country (the good and the bad). I especially enjoy off-the-beaten-path backpacking in the country (and abroad). I also do a lot of hiking/trekking and mountain climbing. No couch to offer for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Got envious of a couchsurfing friend who is currently surfing around South America. :)
