Hello, please call me Guiaㅡmy nickname. I'm introverted nevertheless open-minded and thrill-seeking. I travel on my own terms and am always hyped up to experience the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand. — Banksy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learned about CS-ing through an alternative class in my university. I was blown away and inspired by the idea, so I joined right in.

I wish to travel and meet new people; find inspiration and motivation in every place I encounter. I would love to make new friends and be out to experience the world, in my own pace and in His perfect time!

Interests

Arts, culture, creative writing, graphic design, music, psychology, cats... and the list goes on. I like learning about arts, watching series, and spending quality time alone or with family/close friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share to you a thing or two about my mother countryㅡfood, places, history, language and culture. I like to learn varied cultures and in exchange, share whatever I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't promise to give hosts something grand or fancy in return. But as a form of gratitude, I'd be sure to bring something that is of relative value as a token or souvenir!

If you visit Manila/Philippines, I'd love to bring you around the city if time allows and let you try local delicacies. Do check out my 'My Home' section to see more! :)
