Hi there friends! I'm Angeli! I'm born and raised at the Philippines. I love to travel and capturing those amazing moments. I love snowboarding, hiking, biking, wakeboarding, nature, arts and crafts, watching movies/series, sleeping, sometimes spending time alon sometimes spending time with family/friends. I'm an ambivert type of person shy and outgoing. Favorite foods: shrimp, dumplings, and spicy food! Yum! Favorite drinks: I'm more on a white wine and rose. Milkshakessss too! I don't drink beer but if that's the only choice I'll choose guinness. Favorite fruit: You got to try Philippine Mango!! So much sweeter than the Mangoes at USA or Canada.

First time I travelled internationally was when I was 19 years old, since then I promised to myself to travel even once a year. As of now I'm still keeping my promise. I've lived at Colorado and Vancouver for a year. And traveled to France, other parts of US and Canada, and Singapore. But of course how can I forget Phillippines, I went to some of the beautiful places at my country too.

I'm into photography but still a beginner. And this is why I love to meet new people and their culture for a reason that I know every picture I'm taking has an amazing story to share with the whole world.

It's my first time here. If you want to learn more about me you can follow me on instagram: gelibeee

I read books but not to often. Favorites are Harry Potter and The Secret.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Internship at Vail, Colorado. The best ski resort!! Wuhoo. Haha
Another amazing thing was when I shared a table with a homeless man while eating at McDonalds Vancouver. At first glance he doesn't look like one but we talked and laughed for almost 2 hours I guess? It was inspiring to meet someone for the first time and make them happy. I asked for his email and we continue sharing our stories. It was an emotional and memorable experience! The one thing I'll always remember that he told me was, how lucky my parents are to have me. It was amazing how a stranger appreciates you so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you my language, tagalog. :)
Learn: I want to learn the different cultures, languages, different people, basically everything! I'm a curious girl. :) oh specifically travel and photography tips would be great.
Share: The Philippines is known to be one of the happiest and hospitable country. We are family oriented and make sure we got each other's back. So here I can share what my parent's taught me, always help those who are in need blood related or not. Kindness. Kindness. And kindness!! That's what the world needs today.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll definitely share a bottle of wine while sharing my story. :) And of course the most important kindness, respect and friendship!
