ABOUT Karen: She's an ambivert- half introvert half extrovert; therefore, she's flexible and easy- going. She's calm, sophisticated and open to try new things and adventures in life because monotony will kill her soul and core being. She's good at organising and planning things, but spontaneity is also a best option for her. She has the passion for traveling (within the city, local and international) as part of her spiritual nourishment. She prefers backpacking over luxury travel since it's more self- indulging, meaningful and fun. She doesn't fancy mainstream things and common things but she can blend well with conversations- anything under the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I answer in discussion threads whenever travelers need suggestions, tips or some help. I can show you around the city and places to see and indulge in local culture. I can suggest some trips (diving, canyoonering, beach break, party, food, leisure, long road trips, etc). I have an extra bedroom to offer for you and for your stuffs. I can cook breakfast for you, share stories, and most of all- I can be a good travel companion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I am open for showing you around the city, have coffee around the malls or in the calm place of the city and introduce to you local culture, the islands, and the local way of life. I have hosted a number of guests around the city. I have also traveled with them and spent good times together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my stable and secure career and went on a solo trip to Europe. It’s one of the best experiences in my life.

And numerous acts of kindness, that don’t need to be specified in the online world. (: After all, let’s be a blessing or be of help to humanity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The main thing is to have a "When in Rome" Philosophy. You are already here, indulge!

- Get indulge in local culture- ride the jeepneys, the tricycles, eat with locals, eat with your bare hands, eat in the local BBQ grill and meet new people, travel into remote islands and discover the beaches, hidden paradise, the sunsets, the stars, the sound of the waves, jump off a cliff, and enjoy the islands
