About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sailing with my sailboat from Brittany to the Mediterranean sea !

ABOUT ME

I'd describe myself with a Filipino attitude: Bahala na, which evokes the thought of "come what may" or "Whatever will be, will be".

I did some studies in forest biology, but consider other forms of learning as important, or even more important than those studies.

In the last years, I have crossed the Atlantic sea and have landed in Brittanny, the West part of France. There I have discovered a passion for sailing, the beauty of living close to the sea and its tides and have met great people who enjoy living together and thrive for a sustainable, alternative and respectful way of living.

I think myself as a open-minded, curious and joyful person. I like to think that I try to adopt an alternative way of living and philosophy; ie. I find it important to defend feminist, LGBT, peasants and biodiversity issues.

Outdoor activities, biking, rockclimbing and surfing
Music gigs, theatre and reading
Learning photography and developing pictures, amator radio
Eating and discovering new dishes and eating again

Murphy's law helps me understand sometimes the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am on CS because it is one of the best ways to meet new people in places you are not familiar. I seek to learn and share when meeting new folks.

J'ai fait du CouchSurf durant mon voyage à vélo de Montréal jusqu'à New Carlisle, en Gaspésie, durant deux semaines, en septembre 2012. Durant cette aventure, j'ai fait la connaissance de personnes extraordinaires et inspirantes.

In September 2012, I biked from Montreal to New Carlisle, in Gaspesie, for two weeks, where I was able to CouchSurf everyday. CouchSurfing helped me meet amazing and inspiring people! My first couchsurfing experience was in St. John's, Newfoundland, where I stayed with some pretty cool kids for a week.
