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.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
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.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Biked down The World's Most Dangerous Road in La Paz, Bolivia. Such beatiful views over super steep cliffs mixed with the adrenaline of biking super fast right next to it... what's not to love?
