About Me

I recently discovered that I'm an Ambivert- I enjoy the company of others, but when it's too much of a crowd, I quiet down and recharge my social battery. I enjoy watching K-Dramas that are somewhat relevant in my life, and slowly, I'm beginning to enjoy cooking. I'm an environmentalist, so rest assured that I won't be bringing any plastic with me or any waste that will harm our planet. I'm an avid animal lover and seriously been thinking if I should pursue Veterinary medicine. As a traveler, I enjoy being spontaneous. I like having an itinerary and all, but I don't follow it by the clock, so I enjoy whatever comes my way that is unplanned. As a visitor/couchsurfer, I'm a neat freak. So rest assured that I will be a good roommate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather immerse myself in the culture of where I'm travelling, that's why I'm interested in making friends with the locals and possibly, learn their language as well.

Interests

Japan, The Mountains (Hiking), Beaches (Swimming), Colors (Van Gogh, Painting & Sketching), Literature (Reading & Writing), planning to go unto the path of adrenaline junkies (Skydiving anyone?), and learning to love the beauty of the Theater world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I love the Young Adult genre, particularly about Greek mythology and something I can relate to in life.

Movies: Nowadays, I'm finding myself re-watching all of Zoe Kazan and Robin Williams' movies.

Music: Alternative rock. Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons, Nickelback, The Scipt and the likes. Also, I love Train, Owl City & Ellie Goulding's music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a Quill Award (I’m a writer)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are traveling solo, I would love to be your photographer and chauffeur (just provide the car. haha!)
I would also love to have a cultural exchange via food, so don't be shy to introduce me to your home-cooked meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have hosted me, I'll host you. It's that simple.
Come visit me in the Philippines, and you won't have to worry about your accommodations here in Manila as I live in a condominium here in Ortigas center. ;)
