Overview
About Me
I'm a young professional from the Philippines who loves to travel, fond of food, and enjoy sharing interests, stories, and experiences with people. When I travel I like exploring the "not so touristy" spots and experience living like a local. I enjoy walking when I'm exploring a new place because I get to see and discover more about the area. It's also a must for me to visit the local market and check out the museums. I like trying out local food just not the extremely exotic ones.
I currently work for an American firm in its Manila office. I've been working night shift for almost 10 years. I know...but I'm nocturnal anyway.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I haven't couchsurfed (stayed with a couchsurfer) before but I'm pretty sure I will in the future. I've met a few during my travels and I'm here to hopefully meet more. I've always been introverted and socially awkward but I've been trying to change that and my traveling helped me a lot in interacting and connecting with a lot of people. I know that this community is a great venue to expose myself to different cultures and learn about life in general. Let's hangout!

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to almost all genres of music. I like urban r&b, light rock, edm and yes 90's music!
I am not a big movie buff but I enjoy watching rom-coms, sci-fi films. I've watched all x-men films cos I'm a big fan of the series and the Marvel cinematic universe!
Not much of a book reader but I've been trying to read books when I can. It is very enriching.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Stayed awake for almost 48hours. It sure is not healthy but when you are having fun with the right bunch of people you tend to forget about time & exhaustion.
