About Me

I’m a multimedia journalist and social storyteller covering current affairs and uncovering personal stories of ordinary people with extraordinary achievements. Although I was born human, I’m still learning to actually be a human being (weird, right? I know!), still learning to own myself and transcend from ambition to meaning. I love learning, especially from personal experiences (you know, the ones no one taught you and you never shared with anyone). Conversations and instant connection with complete strangers are my things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I’m a firm believer in intercultural exchanges. And when I say intercultural, I’m talking about culture as a mental and psychological framework because not two people from the same culture think the same way. Plus, I love connecting with different types of people, as long as they are respectful and not superficial.

Interests

F.I.R.E, anthropology, psychology, strategy, civil society, youth participation, democracy and governance, paranormal stuffs, etc. I read a lot, watch Youtube lectures, meditate, etc.
