ABOUT ME
I moved to the Philippines three years ago with my med student partner. I run a social enterprise working with underprivileged women in Dumaguete who hand craft jewelry from recycled materials. I love to travel and to meet like minded people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully there is reason in meeting and sharing experiences with people, we can all learn from each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had positive experiences on this site, staying with the very welcoming and informative Anthony from America in Japan. And meeting the Manila crew on a night out. Very interesting night and a good bunch of people!
