About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pretty easy - travel. Goal is to visit 2-3 countries a year, with at least 1 being new! 2017 has Australia, Japan and South Korea in the works.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very eclectic person, so my interest really varies. I'm very open and accepting to all kinds of people, and down to earth. I try to always remain curious, and always find something to talk about. I'm not one to judge too quickly, so I'll try something at least once.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always in a sweet disposition and try to live in the now, instead of the later. Live by the golden rule - treat others as you would treat yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started couchsurfing 5-6 years ago but haven't been so active on the site. I did make couchsurfing friends and some are now friends in real life. Couchsurfing events are also fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done my fair share of couchsurfing when I was growing up. Definitely a different experience when you share someone's house, you not only get to know them but you get to know their culture, their people. I love to eat too - so sharing food is always fun.

Interests

I like to spend time outdoors and indoors. San Diego is a very outgoing city with plenty of things to do indoors and outdoors. Like to make friends with all kinds of people. I spend a lot of time cooking and checking out the local farms in San Diego. We also garden a lot at home, so when we're not traveling - that's pretty much where you'll find me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've died twice, and was resuscitated back to life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I can teach you Tagalog, or random things. I play a lot of instruments. I can also stick a noodle up my nose and pull it out of my mouth!

Learn - I want to learn new recipes, new words in different languages, something new!

Share - My life experiences, language, culture, food, and my home.
