Hi, my name is Jamello, you can call me Mello!

I'm a Filipino-Arabian, solo traveller, and a digital nomad who was born and raised in the tropical islands of the Philippines, but now based in sunny Lisbon!

At 21, I hopped on a plane for the first time not knowing it was just a beginning of the journey to many different places that I am about to discover, interesting people that I am about to interact with, lessons that I am about to learn, and dreams that I am about to realize. Since then it has led me to see life from different standpoints, from exploring ancient ruins of the past to getting lost in futuristic cities, eating like a local and immersing in different cultures, and from diving the islands of the Philippines to climbing the glaciers of the Himalayas in Nepal! It's my dream and goal to travel to every country in the world within my lifetime! I will tell you more about it when we meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thrill of being able to meet new interesting people and share and exchange thoughts, ideas, opinions, and cultural views with an open mind!

I'm here to embrace the unknown, to immerse myself in different realities, and to build bridges of understanding in a world that sometimes seems divided. I'm here to not only share my story, but also to learn from the stories of others. As I continue to explore and connect, I invite you to join me on this incredible journey, one couch/meet up/country at a time. Let's celebrate the beauty of human connection and create a more compassionate world together.
