About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get outside the box - to breathe life and seek adventure to break the monotony of "law"

ABOUT ME

Independent, driven and ambitious, I'm happiest when I am productive. I am a business/store manager and an active student-leader in the premier university in the Philippines. I am a student of law in search of a personal advocacy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted yet, but I do try to answer a lot of queries on transportation in our city, currency, etc. and give recommendations on worthwhile spots and places to go to/tour

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I've couchsurfed in Busan and Seoul during my 10-day trip in Korea. I was hosted by a CS Ambassador so in my 5-day stay at his house, I met a lot of other couchsurfers all over - Polish women based in Japan, students from Malaysia and a gentleman from Switzerland. An on our last day, I attended one of the CS Meet-Ups in Itaewon and it was really fun! :)

Interests

I'm interested in leadership and public service (not necessarily politics). A lot of my free time is spent in activities and projects for the law student community as I served as External Vice President of the our Law Student Government & am currently the Vice President for the Association of Law Students in the Philippines. When I'm taking it easy, I read a fiction book, catch up on TV series (The Newsroom, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother), or explore new dining places in my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a trip to Bohol, it was nature-overload! There was the perfectly formed Chocolate Hills, the cute tarsiers, dolphins swimming alongside your boat... Stood in awe of the wonderful works of our Creator.

Recently, I trekked up Mt. Linabo Peak in Dipolog, Zamboanga del Norte and the view was breathtaking. To my left was the mountainous terrain of Dapitan and to my right was the sea outlining the city of Dipolog. We managed to reach the top in time to watch the sunset and to describe it as beautiful is an understatement.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook simple Filipino food, share Philippine history and beautiful beaches in our country and cities imbued with culture and history.
