Hello! My name is Dana, and I'm from the Philippines. I've been living in Berlin since 2019 and before that I was living in New York. I guess you could say my background is rather multi-cultural :) Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, cooking, reading, making music, and taking care of my plants.

I do enjoy meeting up in groups or with friends, but there are times when I also need my alone time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love meeting people from different cultures and learning from them. Even though I don't live in the US anymore, I'm still learning a lot about it. And, of course, I'm constantly learning about Germany since I arrived here.
