[Not accepting guests at this time due to strict restrictions in Manila]

An art history teacher by day, a culture geek
by night and a daydreamer in between.

I love organizing small CS events in Manila. If you have a suggestion or if you are curious about trying arts and culture activities in the city, message me and maybe we can collaborate on an itinerary :)

[ i only host female surfers at home but can do meet-ups with anyone]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and talking about art, culture and good things in life. This feeds my extrovertedness a lot.
I am also an advocate of non-mainstream tourism.

I love making tourists learn about our country through jeepney and train rides, street food and home cooking, museums, galleries and art events.
