I'm born and raised in Montreal, Canada with a filipino background. I started travelling 10 years ago around Europe, Australia, and South East Asia and am currently travelling around Asia and Europe for 6 months on a rock climbing trip. I'm an entrepreneur and rock climbing guide, and I also have a strong passion for international development, where I've built a school as well as shelters in Nepal.

If I'm not rock climbing, you can find me hiking in the mountains, cooking vegan meals, sitting at a cafe writing or drawing, or researching my next travel destination.

I love to connect and meet new people! You can also follow me on instagram at @activetravlr.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From the 10 years that I've been travelling, I've never actually couch surfed! I decided to join because I want to experience something different with my travels and discover a place through its locals. I love connecting with people so I think this is the right place for me. :)
