New member here. I am currently working for an American company and I am based at home. I love to cook and I am learning as much dishes as I can. I am also trying to learn how to bake. I lived in China for about 5 years and I can speak a little bit of Mandarin. I can understand a few Spanish, and if given a chance.. I want to be fluent in Spanish, Arabic and Japanese.

My home in Philippines is about 2 hours away from Manila, and not near to any beaches. So, not ideal for travelers to stay in. But, if I could help someone to who is visiting Philippines, for advice on places to stay and places to visit.. I would be happy to. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will travelling to Coron, Palawan this coming September. Would love to meet new friends to ravel with.

Interests

I like walking around and discovering places. I also and run occasionally and climb mountains. I also like photography, it is very important for people who loves travelling. I like B/W, landscape and street photography, but I'm not very good.. just trying to be decent photographer. ;)

And... I love eating and trying out new food, except for exotic ones..
