About Me

I get paid to be a teacher but the benefits of being a learner are far richer. I want to continue exploring and learning through people, places and experiences... that, to me, is the purpose of life! 💙

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"It's people that make your experience vital."
- Rick Steves

Not long ago, I was terrified of the thought of spending time with people who I hadn't met before, let alone living with them for a few days. That was until I joined Couchsurfing. I was filled with curiosity and apprehension, but now I can't imagine travelling without forming new friendships along the way. Getting to know people from different walks of life in different parts of the world opens up doors to enriching experiences. Spending time with local people and travellers as we talk, laugh and learn from each other adds another dimension to the beautiful gift of travel.

Interests

Education, multiculturalism, nature, exploration... not really sure when asked what my interests are... still learning about myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...
Play something and I'll most likely dance to it... as long as you dance with me haha. 💃

Movies...
Comedy, thriller, a bit of romance

Books...
With unpredictable storylines

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday is amazing. I'm grateful for everything I've experienced in my life so far. If we meet, I can share some of my wonderful experiences and I hope to hear about yours too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach...
Maybe a little bit about Australian culture and Filipino culture if you'd like... or perhaps, how to be patient with children haha. I'd be happy to help you learn English or some Aussie slang if you're up for it!

Share...
Stories, food and laughter... I'd be more than happy to help around the house.

Learn...
My mind is always prepared to be enlightened by new perspectives and ideas! I have so much to learn... if you can teach me a few phrases from your language, how to cook traditional dishes (or cook in general), traditional dances, or whatever else you're willing to help me with, I would be forever grateful!
