Overview
About Me
Please don't message me if you're just wanting to hook up. Not interested. Happily in a relationship with an amazing guy - thank you very much! (I think there was a need to put that in as I get messages from guys who just want to start a chat, etc)
CURRENT MISSION
To be a citizen of the world in the truest sense ! =)
ABOUT ME
i have always had this desire to go to different countries (or to just a different region), learn of other culture, to see the sites and to get to know the locals. i never knew that many people, much less few (at least in my social circle), who feels the way that i do... that not being able to travel feels that im missing something HUGE out of life!that's why im just plain happy to have discovered this site! =)Philippines = 7,107 islands. 100+ islands down, 7,000+ to go! :D
PHILOSOPHY
see the good in every person! ^_^
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've done a few surfing and attended lots of gatherings and did several roadtrips as well with other couch surfers. Unfortunately, I can't host at home but I hope to remedy that real soon. Though I've hosted a few in my home province. (it counts as hosting too, right? though in a different couch ^_^))I try to pay forward the goodness I received from others by sharing infos (knowledge, tips, how to's etc) to travelers clueless or at least wanting more details about the country. Check this out: Seeking Felicity. If I can, it's also my pleasure to show them around the metro.
UPDATE!!!
I am now living in London - one of the world's best cities! :D
I have my own room so I do host. I found that I enjoy hosting as much (even more at times) than surfing! :)
