Always looking for an adventure. Let's talk about photography, traveling, tech, startups, and art.

I'm a Computer Science graduate that dabbled in painting, theatre, hip hop, and filmmaking before discovering my current love affair with travel and photography.

I have a knack for disappearing for a day and turning up at a beach 8 hours away to practice surfing or climbing a mountain and taking photos of the locals.

Don't underestimate my love for food because I fly to satisfy my cravings of local food.

I love tech and am deep in the tech startup scene. We can talk about AI, how things work, and how to conquer the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new friends who can show me parts of the cities only a true local can! Surprise me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently working on a personal project to document local festivals. I'm happy to report that it's going great so far. I'm accepting suggestions for new festivals to check out!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak in English and Tagalog, you can help me practice my French and Bahasa! I can also teach you how to shoot photos and code....? :)
