Lived in Manila for the first two decades of my life. Next decade spent in Toronto living with my cat Hamilton.

I love all types of movement - dancing, cycling, swimming, you name it! A couple of things that would make me sit still include good books and good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Initially joined Couchsurfing as I was new to the city and was looking for an avenue to connect with other people, then met some spectacular people who I'm still in touch with years and years later.

I am in love with the philosophy of Couchsurfing - a community that selflessly provides safe spaces for others and creates opportunities for open and respectful connections that lead to unforgettable experiences in a new place. This community has always been very good at restoring my faith in humanity :)

I would prefer shorter stays of 1-2 nights as I’m working mostly from home. Please take the time to read my profile and please share a movie/book/song you grew up with that reminds you of home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2018 a CoushSurfer introduced me to a sport called underwater rugby. Fast forward to 2019, I participated in the world championships for underwater rugby as part of the first ever national Canadian women's team. Scored for Team Canada too ❤️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I come from a family that cooks - my stepdad is a pastry chef and my grandmother used to run a catering service - so I would be happy to cook a meal for you :)
