CURRENT MISSION

Travel with my son Teloyskie!

ABOUT ME

Me and Teloyskie are occasional budget traveler. My freelance assignments makes up our travel budget, so they're usually spaced far and apart. I work and save, Teloyskie goes to school and study and when we can we explore places here in the Philippines as well as some countries in SEA where our limited budget will take us!

PHILOSOPHY

That my life is unique and blessed. Though I feel envious at how other travelers take one adventure from the next, I too have my own adventures to make and there are also a lot that's envious of how my life goes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

2012 was my first year with CS and though I haven't fully explored and surfed with fellow CSers, I was able to interact with some members, find people I know with the same passion for travel and adventure. CS fora have also served as a bible for planning trips and I'm grateful for the members who continuously share their experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any experience with couch surfing yet, but based on the travel blogs I've read, I think I'm going to enjoy being part of this community.
