Overview
About Me
I am a Filipino-Australian who just finished his five year Architecture degree, and before I start the chapter of the life of 9-5 working days I'll be wandering around Europe (with my partner https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/rose-dooley) to further my knowledge of architecture within different natural and built landscapes, and through the eyes of different cultures.
I am a very laid-back/easy going person, adventurous and always wanting to learn new experiences and new stories to tell.
I am also vegan (can share some tasty green recipes with you), a coffee addict, and love me some spicy/hot food.
I'll travelling with my partner Rose who I have been with for two years. Last year we visited the Philippines and Outback Australia together.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Growing up my parents used to host exchange students and I have always wondered what that would be like. Now couchsurfing provides me with that opportunity. The opportunity to see from a different perspective to live and learn from different individuals and families.
Interests
Architecture of course, and how it allows an expansion from the architecture field into areas of interests such as philosophy and art theory.
I also enjoy being outside at the beach on a hot summer day, or exploring new locations and venturing off the beaten path.
I am currently an amateur photographer, learning as I go.
I consider myself an activists for social justice and environmental issues; a strong believer in equality for all and the detrimental effect of climate change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Snorkelling with sea turtles in a pristine reef off a tiny island in the Philippines would have to be up there.
Teach, Learn, Share
I sometimes watch people, strangers, walk through my life and wander what their stories are, what brought them to this particular moment in time. I'd love to hear yours as everyone has their own interesting story to tell.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I will get to share my story with the hosts! One day I will do what my parents did and hosts people from overseas to continue that lifelong experience of learning other peoples stories. So if you're ever in Australia do not be afraid to contact me.
