About Me

Born and raised in Marikina City and a child of Metro Manila, I moved to Cebu to pursue further studies in acting for two years. Moved back to Manila in December 2015. I'm an actor, writer, and event planner/producer/coordinator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet up with people who might be feeling lonely while travelling or who might need someone to relate to while visiting so that in the future, when I also have to travel to other countries, I can meet new people and couchsurf. I also am keen to learn Spanish and French.

Interests

Theatre and acting are my passion. I love conceptualizing events, and doing creative marketing strategy. Books are a huge part of my life and so is music. I have a weird relationship with fashion; I'm both fascinated by the beauty of it and appalled by the fickleness of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am pretty much open to listening to any kind of music except for heavy metal. I love movies but somehow, I'm partial to indie movies because of the creativity this genre employs and the freedom the artists enjoy more in this sphere. I LOVE books. I love buying books, and even if I don't get to read them immediately as I would like to, I read them eventually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can give you a couple or more. Switched career paths and took the much riskier one and not regretting it ever since. Overcame trauma sexual abuse had on me as a child and learning how to fight against the effects of it (anxiety and depression) every single day. Chasing after every dream or goal that my heart truly desires and never settling for what is safe and more "realistic and decent".

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish I could say I could teach something, but my professional skills are not for teaching. I can teach you Filipino, although I have yet to meet a visitor who is interested in learning that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer great conversation, advice in exploring the city and friendship. :)
