I'm a Spanish- Filipino divemaster, conservationist, former humanitarian and development worker/volunteer & explorer! I love learning new things and meeting people. My hobbies have become too many and too unpredictable to mention, and I am always up for a good adventure!

I'm currently based in Malapascua Island where I work as a divemaster and dive with the world-famous thresher sharks in the morning and sip mai tais watching the gorgeous sunset by the beach. Come dive with me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all walks of life, and I think living with a host family when travelling is always the highlight of any of my trips - the same way my family and I love hosting travelers and making their trips unforgettable.
