Hi, I am Jes, a Filipina. I like beach trips, hiking, and learning something new about the place that's unsearchable on google. I am constantly looking for views that can take my breath away. ☀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a rewarding experience to get to know more about the place based on a local's perspective. I love seeing the pride and enthusiasm in the eyes of someone while talking about the place and their culture. 💯

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 I normally listen to any country and contemporary music especially when I'm feeling "myself" but I can also enjoy any genre depending on my mood for the day. Let's say, I have no favorites! 🙆‍♀️

📚 I am not much of a book person tbh but have got a strong fascination with subjects regarding history, mythology, and self-help books. I am more of a virtual reader 💁‍♀️

🎬 Scientific Fiction, documentaries, real crime series, let's sit together and eat popcorn 🍿 One of my latest faves is the Dark Series, it's a bit mindblowing since I have to review my lessons on quantum physics to understand the flow but it's worth it! (I'm not exaggerating) 🤷‍♀️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably quitting a stable government job, disappointing everyone around me, escaped into a country in Central Asia, and finding myself in the process. Pretty lame, I know! 🤦‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️ But that's not it, I think exploring a far-flung mountainous area back home where I need to hike and venture into an extremely muddy route every week just to educate the children of that place. 👩‍🏫 🍎
