CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel the world as far and wide as possible — that’s a journey. Goals and dreams will happen when they happen. For right now, I’m only 23. My journey is simply living. I'm on my 20s and I'm currently enjoying it. Middleborn. Outgoing-introvert. Some-kind-of-interesting-person. Minimalist.

“Leaving home is a kind of forgiveness, and when you get among strangers, you’re amazed at how decent they seem. Nobody smirks at you or gossips about you, nobody resents your successes or relishes your defeats. You get to start over, a sort of redemption.”
— Garrison Keillor, Leaving Home

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was born to be here.

Travel — and the people you meet along the way — will always teach you more than you could possibly imagine and also make you a better person. You will want to contribute to change and appreciate nature more. You will get a better sense of adventure than you could possibly imagine; you will develop a thirst to see and experience more — and believe me, you will learn. - Anon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing is really great and amazing but by having great and amazing and awesome and cool friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH - Cool stuff like stand hanging on a riding jeepney (PH public transpo), eat local food using bare hands (optional), drink soda in a small plastic bag, lil talk with local homeless people, break some stupid rules, sing your heart out like you don't care about people around, drink beer the Filipino way, and yeah anything under the sun. Simple but awesome things that marks.

LEARN - I wanna learn Karate like a hiyaahhhh. Lol. I wanna learn how to dance like a human too, like the real dance of a human, you know. Maybe mind about other's culture and language perhaps. Whatever you can offer then bless you.

SHARE - I can share my mom, she's very clingy but you will definitely love her. Lol.
