Currently working as an English teacher in Yamaguchi, Japan. I came from a small village in the Philippines with a diverse community. A simple and an easy-going person who loves to share experiences with people who have different backgrounds and perspectives in life. Life has been really good to me and I am enjoying this opportunity to work and live in Japan as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). I never take things for granted, instead I do all my best to be a goodwill ambassador of my country, the Philippines.
Since I moved here in Japan in 2018, I am having a fruitful experience with the locals. I love learning new things and meeting new people. I am fun to be with and I love hanging out with people. I love sharing my life's stories and I hope to learn from other’s stories as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in Couchsurfing because I believe that this is a perfect avenue for people who love to travel, meeting travelers and locals, learning other cultures and building connections from different walks of life. I am in a state of discovering myself through traveling "independently" and discovering the world at the same time. I am hoping to meet people who can share their perspectives about life and people who can share their traveling experiences as well. I am eager to meet people who are very enthusiastic in sharing their experiences. The world is so gigantic to conquer and I don't wanna miss every opportunity that would help me discover bits of it.
