About Me

I just moved to Germany! I am originally from the Philippines and I love exploring new places and experiences. I'm quiet by nature but I can be social too! I'm always trying to talk to different people and when I get to speak up (really working on it), I pick their brains to learn from them to widen my horizons as I find it very interesting to hear different perspectives about life that, who knows, can inspire me to do more and be better.

I like to connect with people, learn about different cultures, discover amazing places and find cool experiences!

PHILOSOPHY
Life is too short! Make the most out of it but take it easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring and getting out of my comfort zone by meeting new people, having conversations to polish my speaking and vocabulary (feel free to correct me if my choice of words are weird! I won't mind! haha), knowing their stories and maybe influence these people in a good way (hopefully!). I'm currently (informally) learning German and at the very early stages so, it would be cool to learn a few words or expressions if you happen to speak the language.

Most of my meaningful and epic experiences have been with couchsurfing so helping out travelers alike with their travels as a way of giving back to people who are also doing the same thing not only to me but to the citizens of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in music. I listen to all kinds of music but my ears seem to favor light music, indie, alternative and acoustic. I'm also getting caught in spotify loops I can never get back to, and craving sounds I can never find.
Always would love to watch action and adventure movies!
Not much of a reader but currently reading books by Paulo Coelho given as a gift by a friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach Tagalog (if you're interested) and would love to learn German... skateboarding, roller-skating, skiing, snowboarding (random, but these are the things I was not able to experience from where I grew up, still not too late, right?). :)

If you like cycling, I want to hear your stories about it!
