About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the Southern Hemisphere

ABOUT ME

I am a Filipino American that grew up in California. I love to meet different people, get to know them, and share experiences. I also love to eat good food and relax with a beer or some wine! :)

I graduated University and went to work immediately doing very corporate sales. I knew that I did not want to do that for the rest of my life and that I hadn't seen enough of the world. I did what any sensible person would and quit my job and traveled through South America. It was the best decision I had made to date.

After that, I moved back to California for a short stint and then left again to travel through Southeast Asia. I ended up in Sydney for the working holiday and that's where I currently reside!

PHILOSOPHY

Slow down for a second to appreciate today.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to both surf and host. The best way to get to know a place is to do what the locals do.
