I spent two years after finishing my undergraduate as a Coastal Resource Management Peace Corps Volunteer living on the Island of Tablas in Romblon, Philippines. Currently, an Americorps fellow with the nonprofit solar company Grid Alternatives in Sacramento.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and spent three months traveling around the Philippines and SE Asia. I am hoping to connect with interesting people who wish to exchange unique experiences, knowledge and insight.

Interests

I have played soccer my whole life and was fortunate enough to develop the sport for a college and elementary school in my Municipality. Food is delicious and I hope to improve my culinary abilities. History is fascinating because it is the blue print to the present. Movies and tv shows. Physical activity especially treking and biking. Striving to improve oneself. Thoughtful discussion. Continued learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Peace Corps. Within Peace Corps climbed Mt. Guiting-guiting, biked around my island in a day, went on a night-time commercial fishing trip, danced around the Philippines, dove with whale-sharks, had a plethora of other adventures and developed a yearning to travel.
