I'm nice and friendly. I'm not likely to be the fire of the party but I can keep up. I've been living in Europe for almost 4 years. It started off with Erasmus and now working as a brewing engineer in Leuven. My mission as a traveler: Get off the beaten path and discover beer, food, and culture wherever I go! As a brewer, I have a special interest in discovering fermented and distilled beverages native to a place

Some interesting tidbits about me:
- I lived and worked on a vineyard in Portugal
- I apparently have honorary "Serbian" status from my friends for not passing out after a night at the kafana
- I won a homebrewing contest in Belgium - top!

I like music and going out to dance except dancing doesn't really like me... Sad face. But that doesn't stop me from just having a good time!

Big travel dreams for 2020:
- Take the trans-Siberian railway through Russia and Mongolia
- Visit Istanbul in Turkey
- Explore Israel
- Homecoming to the Philippines
- First visit to Latin America

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To find a couch, of course! More than that, I'd like to hang out with cool and openminded people who wanna have a conversation, a walk around their city, or just to kick back and grab some drinks

Música, películas y libros

I'm really into trippy, beat-driven songs. Also a sucker for good emotional lyrics that can turn the heart into a pulp at 2 AM in some Irish pub. What's on my Spotify now :

- Classic rock (Led Zep, Queen, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc.)
- New wave (Blondie, The Smiths, New Order, Joy Division, etc.)
- 90s rock (RATM, RHCP, Foo Fighters, etc)
- Contemporary stuff (Khalid, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, etc)

I'm also a gamer. I have a PS4 and really into RPG and FPS games. Currently playing: COD Modern Warfare, Watch Dogs, and Valkyria Chronicles. Also on Netflix but to a lesser extent
