Hey there! So, I might be 36, but honestly, I'm still figuring out this whole "adulting" thing. Lately, I’ve been leaning into my introverted side and setting off on solo travel adventures—because why not, right? Life’s too short to hold back!

I find my peace on long walks, and as for mobile photography, I’ve somehow managed to turn random things into mini masterpieces (or at least, I like to think so). Meeting locals has become my secret superpower. Even with my shy tendencies, I think they see me as that quiet person who’s good for a laugh without saying much.

When it comes to food, I’m curious but cautious—like a hermit crab testing the waters. I appreciate all kinds of cuisine from a safe distance, and I’ll gladly enjoy the occasional coffee or beer, even if my stomach gives me a hesitant thumbs-up.

I’ve explored a good chunk of Southeast Asia, but a few spots are still on my list: Malaysia, Myanmar, East Timor, and Brunei. Maybe next year, I’ll be brave enough to tick those off.

So, if you’re up for a travel buddy who’s a little shy but keeps things light and fun, let’s make some hilariously memorable adventures together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not here to be a ninja houseguest, in and out while you sleep. Haha! My CS mission is more of a casual caper. I'm all about meeting folks, soaking up different cultures, and peeking into local life. I might not be the daring type, but I excel at brewing simple, hilarious conversations with new friends. Let's skip the ninja moves and just have a laugh together! Haha!

Interests

I love travelling solo and exploring beautiful places on my own. I travel because it makes me feel closer to the universe, hence I feel recharged and happy! I like the freedom and flexibility! 😆

Aside from experiencing culture and admiring beautiful sceneries, I'm also interested in mobile photography. 😆

If you can give me crash course in photography, yoga, meditation or buddism - I will be really happy! 🤗

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I find solace in the calming embrace of white noises, whether it's to help me sleep or unwind. Movies, on the other hand, aren't really my go-to form of entertainment.

As for books, I have a soft spot for fiction. I enjoy a range of genres, from romantic comedies to the contemplative works of Paolo Coelho. Manga offers a delightful escape, while self-help books aid in my personal growth. I also explore Boys' Love (BL) fiction for its unique take on romance, and I occasionally dip into short articles when the mood strikes. My reading preferences are as eclectic as life itself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent a night sleeping on Osaka's sidewalk because my hotel decided to play hide-and-seek with my reservation. Turns out, the city's concrete is surprisingly comfy, and I made some unforgettable friends - the pavement has a quirky charm of its own!

Teach, Learn, Share

I may not be the ultimate tour guide, but I can certainly show you the ropes of the Philippines – I might even throw in a mini crash course on Filipino cuisine, and if you're lucky, you'll leave knowing a few quirky Tagalog words to impress the locals. Think of me as your not-so-serious professor of all things Pinoy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm good in doing household chores! I have a natural talent in washing the dishes. Hahaha!
