About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live. Laugh. Love.

ABOUT ME

I am a free agent civil engineer, currently seeking a new position in the water industry. Water has been a long time passion of mine because it sustains life on our beautiful planet. I am very fortunate to travel through my profession; see the world and form enriching relationships with people of many different cultures. I hope to serve humanity through my craft and pass my knowledge and experience to others.
Besides my profession, I studied classical violin during my childhood years and I am still a classical music enthusiast. For recreation and enjoyment, I like to dance. I learned salsa dancing in college and took with me during my travels to make connections and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life with a purpose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping that I can share my life with my hosts as I travel through couch surfing. My life is not exactly conventional and I am a "cultural fusion" which fascinates many people. Eventually, when I settle in a more comfortable position, I am hoping to be a host also.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Savannah, GA in the US and stayed with a couchsurfing host. It is my first time, and only time so far that I went traveling through couchsurfing. I've also been to a few couch surfing social events and people are very fun, interesting, and nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Instead of folding your clothing, fold it in the long direction and then roll them up for packing. It may be more compact and result in less shifting.

Some international airports offer luggage delivery service to regional towns that are very affordable. Consider this if it you need to travel a long distance to the town you're traveling to and cannot imagine hauling a suitcase or a backpack on your back up and down subway stairs and through busy urban centers.
