Hello, I’m Ira. Pronounced as “eeh-ruh” not “ay-ra”.

I’m from the Philippines and I’m a marketing girl.

I’m currently learning Dutch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfing twice pre-pandemic and the experience was really great.

Pandemic made me socially anxious as I’m just used to interacting with my family for two years. I set a challenge to myself to talk to people from different walks of life. Knowing other’s culture and perspectives helps me see the world openly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo travel in Bacolod when I was 21 years old and I met an awesome person from couchsurfing who inspired me more to travel. Happy that we still keep in touch!
