I'm in my 2nd year of studying B.S. Community Nutrition in the Philippines. Last March - July 2017, I was an exchange student in Kleve, Germany at the Hochschule Rhein-Waal.

I'm a scientist and academic at heart, so I'm a bit of a geek. If you're into Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, etc. I think we'd get along just fine. Nonetheless, I love literature and I'm really into reading essays, so we could probably bond over our favorite stories, films, and TV shows.

I'm not really one to party or go to clubs-- although that doesn't stop me for going out for a drink or two. I can chug a beer, and I'll dance a bit if invited.

I love drinking tea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but sometimes it often feels as though I'm only getting a taste of the places I'm visiting when I go there as a tourist. Sure, seeing the world from the eyes of an outsider is fun and all, but to me moments are better when they are shared with others. So let's meet!
