Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help travelers as much as I can and when I can. At the moment, I don't host. But I can show people around especially if you're into cycling. It may sound a bit cliche but I've been to the off beaten and less explored parts of Cebu. I try to provide travel hacks, budget travel, and share some of my favorite secret places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Junior's famous Hobbit House for a night and it was pretty crazy. Met a few friends, some I've kept in touch with. It's great to get cultured by hearing other people's stories first hand rather than reading it online. It makes the world we live a smaller place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only learned to ride a bike when I turned 25. I think about 2 or 3 yrs ago, I bike-packed south of Cebu in 3days, 2 nights, with total mileage of approximately 323KM. Spent time in between swimming with the whale sharks, snorkeling with the sardines, diving in Pescador island, jumped off a cliff, trekked a little to some least explored waterfalls, a good 1KM trail to another waterfall, and a lot of climbs, endless and punishing climbs, and a whole lot more.

I want to cry out of happiness for making it.

Also, I don't know how to swim but I freedive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy hanging out and meeting new people who are pretty flexible and not afraid to try new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share stories, take portraits, travel together.
