CURRENT MISSION

I need to show the world how appreciate the Filipino and his soul.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nerd. A travel and history nerd to be exact. I have a deep, abiding love for my country and my people--and a passion to share that love to anyone who's willing to listen.

Thankfully, after spending almost half a decade with the Philippine Dept. of Tourism, I managed to put up my own tour company and finally found an avenue to channel my passion in sharing the wonders to the Philippines.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience everything you can. There's no point in merely existing.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't currently have room or couch to host anyone at the moment but I often give out discounted or even free tours to CSers.

Just send me a message to check if there's an available tour schedule you'd like to join. Or check out Manila For A Day's website and FB page.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking back, I actually have to credit CS for turning me into a tour guide. Having no couch to offer, I relied on my nerdy love for Philippine history and culture to participate in CS.

I now realized that even before I was a trained by the DOT, I was already giving tours to CSers the world over. (Big shout out to Megan for being the first CSer I ever toured!)

Damn, just realized I owe my career to to CS!

兴趣

Generally anything, ahem, "nerdy".

From board games to museums to city tours, if there's something to learn or an experience to share, I'm there.

教，学，和分享

TEACH:
The Philippines. The Filipino. Understanding our collective soul. I love my country and I'll be more than happy to teach you about anything and everything you're curious about.

LEARN:
I am a frustrated linguist. Learning new languages is on the top of my list. In particular, though not necessarily in this order:
1. French
2. Spanish
3. Esperanto
