My name is Jose, but people call me J. I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and i engage in realty on the side. I have been travelling different parts of the world since i was 3. Travelling, learning about different cultures and meeting new people are things i really treasure in life.
---------------
I love to:
-hit up bars and clubs and dance like crazy
-have a slow relaxing day at the beach, listening to music or reading a book,
-go to the movies/netflix on my couch
-wakeboard/surf/hike/trek

I’m pretty spontaneous and open to new experiences, just ask me, if i feel like it, i’ll make it happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*** PLEASE READ to have a better chance of being hosted

1). Please send a request atleast 1-2 weeks in advance. I like planning ahead and when you request just a day or two before, i might already have blocked that day for something else.

2). Write a proper request please. I decline one sentence requests(e.g “i’m here at ____, please host me”, “hello, would you like to host me”) like c’mon, whatever happened to common courtesy and proper introductions :(

3). Have a well filled profile including a clear photo of yourself, not just one picture of you with your shades on, or the side of your face or a heavily edited one with a picture overlay.
