Overview
About Me
I’m a proud Boholano and a loving only child. Simple at heart, with a soft spot for good shoes, mobile photography, and traveling. I enjoy capturing everyday moments, interesting details, and places through my phone as I explore new cities and cultures.
Like most people, I find it a bit tricky to sum myself up in a few lines, since there’s always more to a person than what fits in a bio. I believe real connections are built through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and a bit of laughter along the way. So if you’d like to get to know me beyond this short intro, let’s talk in person and see where the conversation goes.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I may not have started as an experienced traveler, but my curiosity for people, places, and cultures has always driven me to explore beyond my comfort zone. Over the years, traveling has become less about ticking destinations off a list and more about meaningful connections and shared experiences.
Couchsurfing appeals to me because it offers a more personal and human way of traveling. I value the chance to meet locals and fellow travelers, share real conversations, and learn about different cultures through everyday life, not just tourist spots. Staying with people in their own homes allows me to see a place through their stories, values, and perspectives.
I believe that the beauty of any destination is deeply shaped by the people you meet along the way. Through Couchsurfing, I hope to build genuine friendships, exchange cultures with openness and respect, and create memories that go beyond the usual travel experience.
Interests
Drawn to art, architecture, and nature from a young age. I travel to see, feel, and photograph what inspires me. I play badminton, run when I can, and dream of finishing a marathon, recently interested in pickleball. I have been telling stories through mobile photography since 2016.

Original Pinoy Music (OPM)
I love mostly any genre of music depending on my mood, from hardcore rock to sweet melodramatic ballads. Basically I am a Filipino, I love music, I love to sing especially in Karaoke (We call it Videoke).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I went to an extreme adventure park in Bohol last 2010, I did "The Plunge" which was jumping off a cliff like that of a bungee jump...
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn a new language, perhaps Spanish or French. I can teach languages and dialects I speak.
This may sound weird, I don't know how to swim, eventhough I was born in the beautiful island of Bohol. But I want to learn it someday.
I can teach you how to play the Hand Flute.
I can teach Math? Hahaha...
What I Can Share with Hosts
My Smile...they say it's contagious..haha...
I really love talking to people and sharing life experiences. Hoping that I can somehow inspire others with my stories. Spread positivity.
