Overview
About Me
I am a Filipino currently residing in Myanmar. It’s been my dream to travel the world and experience other cultures. I am an open-minded person who has the humility to share my expertise and skills if possible. If it happens that you visit both Myanmar and the Philippines, I can you some tips. I value honesty and integrity, so if you do too, we are a good match. I am an English and Social Studies teacher, and I’d love to share my knowledge about it. Basically, I am new to this platform, and I am still working with my references to gain more trust. I am not a picky person who chooses a company; as long as you are good and respectful; I can deal with you. My philosophy in life is that you only live once. Live life to its fullest and good actions give us strength and inspire good actions in others. My teaching philosophy is to teach minds, touch hearts, and transform lives.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am here to inspire and to meet good people around the world with similar interests; therefore, prejudice is not an option for me.
Interests
I have various interests; it depends on the person I am hanging out with😉💕😊
- travelling
- hanging out
- restaurants
Music, Movies, and Books
I love watching inspirational movies and listening to ballad music more than reading books. Funny as it may seem because I am a teacher, that’s the reality.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Two amazing things that I’ve done were go out of my comfort zone because I am an only child, and volunteered far away from my parents in the poor communities of the Philippines for two years after graduating from the university. It was definitely a life-changing experience for me. Another is that I pretended to my host that I was bad to test his sincerity. Remember, only a test of fire makes a fine steel.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach
- Since I am a teacher and I love teaching, if you have any questions about academics, especially in English, I can give you my precious time because I believe that humans are forever learners.
Learn
-I want to learn other languages and hopefully meet people here with the same interest in social work. Another weakness I have is cooking; if it happens that you will host me you can let me do the kitchen stuff 😊😅.
Share
-I’d like to share a story of my humble beginnings, especially in reaching my dreams. Since I came from a poor family. (It's just a prologue)
What I Can Share with Hosts
If it happens that you will visit here in Myanmar, I can your you around the city and treat you food. However, I respect the immigration law and policies of this country, so definitely, sleeping over in my apartment is not allowed.
