ABOUT ME

I am an anthropology instructor based in Southern California. I lived in the United Kingdom for a good amount of time to pursue graduate study. I now reside in beautiful L.A. county and am definitely enjoying the endless sunshine.

PHILOSOPHY

Dwell in possibility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf and go to couchsurfing events. If you're in Los Angeles County or Orange County and want to go for coffee, send me a message and I'd love to meet your for a coffee or a meal. I also know all the yummy Filipino food places in town, so if you're interested drop me a line.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with several wonderful hosts throughout Europe. I love getting to know their city intimately from their perspective. :D I also enjoy being able to cook something/share a part of my culture through meals with my hosts.

Interests

Anthropology, archeology, my dad playing his guitar, the crackling sound of old records, my mom's cooking, butterflies/moths, watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, going to baseball games.

I'm a self-proclaimed foodie, I try anything once.

Teach, Learn, Share

'Live simply so that others may simply live.'

At present I can also teach you about the life cycle of some tropical butterflies and moths.

I can most likely turn any everyday life incident into an 'I Love Lucy' reference. Try me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make Filipino food :) and awesome fluffy rice. :) I also have a lot of travel stories and adventures that I can discuss with you.
