About Me

I'm a writer who’s always looking for the story in the little things. I first tried Couchsurfing to meet people while on a solo trip to Bali in 2017. I walked away from that experience with so many firsts I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. I wrote about the experience here: https://www.cosmo.ph/lifestyle/travel/pinay-couchsurfing-app-in-bali-solo-trip-a45-20170606-lfrm

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an insatiably curious person who gets high on other people's stories. The more people I meet, the greater my understanding of my own self relative to this world is. (Also, I get to use other people's stories as inspiration for the articles I write. Heh.)

Interests

I'm a dreamer and a creative. I like to talk. And I like to listen as much as I like to talk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd rather tell you in person!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very interested in learning about other cultures, so you can yak away about your life and I wouldn't find it boring. And my English is pretty topnotch, so if you need someone to practice your English on, that could be me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation. Lots and lots of it.
