CURRENT MISSION

To connect with my heart and help others along the way

ABOUT ME

i love to travel and to hang out with people. in some ways this can be bad because it is hard to keep strong roots with friends when you are moving around all the time. i am very involved with music, and i feel privilged to be a part of something that allows you to connect with people you do not know. i was in a band for 6 years, and now that that is over i am able to travel more and focus on making new friends outside of my home region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really love Manila and I would love to meet travelers. I think it would be fun to host someone here, and I've seen a lot of the city and would be a good tour guide. But my hope is that I can make more local friends through CS.
