Hiii ya’ll ! Im Celina from the Philippines. I’m a tiny Filipina solo backpacker whose biggest dream is to travel the world just like all of us here in this site. I don’t just love seeing new places but I also love experiencing new things while meeting new people while I’m on my quest for adventure.

I think I’m also a really happy person. I’ve always been told I have a smile on my face everytime and I love to be seen that way 😄. But we could see what you think about me when we meet haha.

And yes, I’d like to have a positive outlook in life as much as I can. I do believe that the happiness of our lives depends upon the quality of our thoughts and I would want to share positive vibes to the world 😄.

FAVORITE QUOTES:

* "I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met."

* "Don’t wish for things to happen. Make them happen"

* "It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing makes me continously believe that there are more good in this world than bad and I just love that 😊.

I love that it makes people realize that the world isn't as bad and as scary as we were made to believe. It shows us the real face of the world which is truly kind and beautiful. The world isn't as cruel as it looks in the news but it is full of love and kindness.

I do believe too that the beauty of the world can't be seen solely through our eyes but also through our hearts by meeting and interacting with incredibly beautiful people scattered all around the globe. Personally, my trips had been special mostly because of the people I met and partly because of the beautiful places I've seen.

So yes, I am in Couchsurfing because I love experiencing the goodness of the world 😊.
