CURRENT MISSION

To make each day an adventure

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer and a freelancer. I like sensible conversations over a cup of coffee. I love to travel, read, go to the beach, hike mountains, experience different cultures and take pictures. I'm independent and I take care of myself. I have a wide range of interest and I try to do the most out of life. I like to dress up but I can be a cowboy too.

My dry sense of humor coupled with my sharp tongue make it easy for me to offend people (a talent that proves useful from time to time). If you are easily offended/closeminded you prolly should steer away from me. Or better yet just don't take me seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem!

The people who get on in this life are the people who look for the circumstances they want. And if they can't find them, they make them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would write about my CS experience. I don't have one yet but hopefully soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ahhh... I've been declined requests recently based solely on my remark about the whole TRYING TO TOUCH the whaleshark thing and breaking the rules which was totally taken out of context.

Seriously if that offends the holy you, you probably should not be eating pork, drinking alcohol or having premarital sex too. No breaking the rules!!!

Well, we are all entitled to our own opinion (no matter how lame they are) and I also have a list of my own aversions but you don't judge people by what they do or what they say, especially on the internet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with whalesharks in Oslob, Cebu.

White water rafting in Bali, Indonesia.

I have whispered to the dead in Lumiang Cave and went spelunking for four hours in Sagada. There's a superstition that whispering your pain / illness to the dead will make it go away.
