You only live once? No, you only die once; you live every day.

I work for a bank during the week and I try to escape the routine every weekend.

I've been exploring the PH islands (planning on visiting all 82 provinces and I've done 68), and traveling the world 1-2 countries at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new friends from different parts of the world through traveling has been a lot of fun that I wanna do it even when I'm NOT traveling 😁

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm in love with the music of Bon Iver, Matthew Perryman Jones, Of Monsters and Men, Jose Gonzalez, Eminem, and a bunch of EDM artists and rock bands.

I read Paulo Coelho, Jonathan Tropper, Charles Bukowski, Sidney Sheldon, Pablo Neruda, and Jostein Gaarder, among others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo traveling throughout Mindanao, Philippines for almost 2 weeks in 2019, despite its bad reputation for being unsafe because of Muslim rebels. Its people (Muslim and not) were some of the most honest and warmest people I've ever met. The only part that scared me was the military checkpoints (stationed about every 3 km or so in some areas). This was because I always heard news about shootouts at checkpoints all the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, especially Filipino and Chinese food. I'd love to learn different cuisines though :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook local dishes for you and help you plan out your itinerary here in the Philippines.
