About Me

2024 update:
Due to my schedules becoming so hectic, I "prefer" to host on weekends but I will try to accommodate requests if my schedules permit.

Im a boring person and I used to be alone. But with help of some friends, I have changed a lot. :-) I have big dreams and one of them is to travel and visit every place on this planet. I thought staying in my beautiful country is enough, but not until I met a couple of foreign people who became my good friends. Their interesting stories about traveling made me realize that Earth has a lot to offer. I work a lot, entire weekdays and on-call on weekends.. The work is stressing me out and a great adventure to foreign places is a great break! A CS guest once told me, "work hard, but travel harder!" And he's right!
I work during the weekdays and prefer guests who visit during the weekend.

I collect fridge magnets and would be awesome if you can add one from your country to my collections. 😁😁😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started writing a bucket list last year and I really got curious about the stories I've heard from all the travellers I've met.

It really feels so great to host and help travelers. Their stories about traveling is priceless and very inspiring. Everytime I host, I feel a certain level of energy and it keeps me on dreaming and pursuing my dream travel.

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Interests

I love listening to music, especially music in the 80's and 90's. I also listen to Korean songs, Japanese anime soundtracks and Chinese drama OSTs.

I have surfed and hosted a lot of Couchsurfers already, and it changed my perspectives in life. It changed me big time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have fear of heights, but I got the courage to jump in a 200-meter high cliff, a canyon swing we call "the plunge." Will never do it again though 😆

Teach, Learn, Share

Im living in a country with a lot of islands( and i live in an island) but I dont know how to swim. I want to learn swimming and so i can have the courage to go diving and make friends with sea creatures. I also want to know how to use chop sticks. 😅

What I Can Share with Hosts

Feb 2023 Update: Since the pandemic, I didn't have the chance to host because no travellers are coming in. Currently, I still have a very busy schedule because I attend university classes until 8:30PM. So, my hosting availability is very limited, but try to send me a message and I'll check my schedules.

I can offer a stay in my small place(its really small) and I can give you tips where to go in our island and the cheapest way to get there(if you are not in a hurry). And WIFI😅😅😅

I'm busy most of the time, but I can give some tips where and how to go. If I'm not busy, we can go around together. 😊
