About Me

After a decade of working for a company, I decided to make an early retirement and start my own travel business so I can be with my family most the time. We live in Kabankalan City, located in the southern part of Negros Occidental, Philippines. You can check out some of the nearby attractions. I run my business with the help of my family and friends.
I begun to explore abroad and travel constantly when my kids grown up and knows how to take care of themselves when I was out of the country.
In 2017, during one of my group tour , our van hit the back of the truck and I was sitting in the front seat. I spent 2 months at the hospital, lost my Tallus bone, undergone 8 operations, 1 year after the doctor pulled out my foot metal fixator which weighed about 2kilos and 2 years before i was able to walk again ... though not the proper way i walk before . ... But life must go on.. despite of my physical condition now I still manage to continue my travel business and was able to travel local and international again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel on a budget because I need to save for my children's future instead of spending on other things. I only have chances of staying in a hotel when I am with my clients on tour. I usually served as their tour guide. But before I offer a tour package for a certain country, I usually travel alone, did a thorough research about place, get all the informations and make connection with local tour operators or preferable freelance interested individual who can serve as local guide and who can be a potential business partner in the future.
