About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be....

ABOUT ME

I dream of great conversations, immense arguments and wonderful comfortable silences with someone. Laughter is in the core of who I am. I am wonderfully imperfect and perfect at the same time. I love the beach and the feel of the sand between my toes. I like looking up at the moon (and I swear there is a rabbit in there somewhere.) I like traveling and riding airplanes, buses, window seats and the MRT as the sun is streaming through the glass around 4 in the afternoon. I like spaghetti with really thick meat sauce, strawberry milkshake, and tuyo with rice. I like eating with my hands. I like shaving my legs and putting on oil after I bathe. I like the smell of sun tan lotion any day. I like laughing out loud all the time and reading out loud sometimes. I like holding hands while crossing the street. I like martial arts and especially martial arts movies. I like to sleep on my side and bury my head to keep the sun out of my eyes. I like really tight hugs and kisses. Bathing nude in the dark. Coloring books especially when I need to think. Incense. Ube hopia. Dogs (of any size and shape are always cute!) I dabble in a lot of things.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Love. Dive. Laugh!

"Dance like no one's watching, sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, and live like it's heaven on Earth!"

Live well. Love much. Laugh Often.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am no longer a newbie in Madrid and now have a long list of recommendations to anyone who might want to visit the capital city :) Feel free to send me a message for any inquiries and if I have the info then I am passing it on!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had one CS experience. I met 2 Lithuanian girls who were traveling to the Philippines from Korea and we had a blast hanging out -- met up for lunch and also went out at night for a few drinks and dancing! I look forward to more CS experiences! I've had a lot of experience meeting friends of friends who visit the Philippines, taking them out and introducing them to people. I also have experience putting together an itinerary and helpin organizing out-of-town excursions from climbing volcano's, swimming with whale sharks, diving etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam and dove with whale sharks.

Moved to another country, 11,000 kms from home and learning a new language at the same time.
