I’m an ocean plastic specialist, which means I spent most of my days trying to find solutions to this problem. As you can probably tell, I love the ocean. I grew up in Toronto, Canada but have my roots in the far off islands of the Philippines. I love food, cooking, sports, and even won a kickboxing championship. There’s a lot to me, and I’m sure a lot to you — looking forward to getting to know each other!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve recently moved to Leeds and need to find a permanent place to stay. This helps as everything is booked up!
