About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world as much as I can

ABOUT ME

Most of my friends describe me as crazy, talkative, funny and weird (in a good way). While I may be inclined to agree with them, I think it's strange considering that I see myself as an introvert stuck in an extrovert's body.

I'm the type of person who's willing to talk about anything and everything even of things I have no knowledge of. I see it as an opportunity to learn new things from people who may or may not be different from me.

I like seeing things with my own eyes and learning by experience. I believe that to truly experience a place one must walk it's streets. I want to see the duality of each place I visit - the scenic and the nitty-gritty.

A trip to Bangkok opened my eyes to the wonders of meeting people from all over the world. How we are all so different, yet so similar at the same time. I loved hearing stories of each person that I met - and I hope maybe someday, I can tread the same path they did in their adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life one day at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always been active in the activities of the CS groups in whichever area I'm in - whether organizing meet-ups and out of town trips to helping CSers find the best spots in my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love hearing stories of other people's travels. It just lights up a fire within me, this craving for adventure and new experiences that one does not get to do when you're stuck behind a desk in front of a computer. So far, I've had conversations over drinks with other CSers and I've found them to be very inspiring! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

I generally like any type of music that I can hum to myself when I think that no one is listening.

Movies

I like the whole spectrum of the cinematic experience - from the cerebral to the downright stupid.

Books

I'm a bookworm. I'll read anything anyone ever recommends to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping on an uninhabited beach with just the sand, the sea and my friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an Architect and I can talk about Architecture in the Philippines for hours. If you also want to know more about my country whether its history, politics, culture and maybe just the best places to go, I can talk to you about it too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I come bearing my sense of humor and quick wit. I will also bring something for you from my country. Or if you have any requests, I can bring that too.:)

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, Germany, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam
