Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like connecting with people from different walks of life and learn new cultures. It's my way of enriching my knowledge of the world. Instead of confining myself in a hotel room alone, it would be so much better to be living with people who are adept to the environs of the city, town, or country that I'm in.

Interests

Travelling, first and foremost. Eating. Cooking. Reading. Playing badminton during my spare time. Regularly looking for seat sales LOOOOOLLLL

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with the whale sharks in Oslob (way back four years ago hahahaha)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook (Asian cuisine to be specific) I bake (Pastries to be more specific). I like talking ( to anyone and everyone under the sun, moon, stars). Being part of a family that does travelling for a living, I'm also into learning new languages and Philippine dialects, with me having a very basic background in French and Mandarin which I learned in primary school and in Ilonggo and Bicolano since Cebuano, one of my primary languages, is somewhat similar to these two dialects.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can probably share to my hosts are my cooking skills (haha!) and my housekeeping skills, house-husband level haha
