I'm a bubbly soul constantly looking for the next adventure and making new friends as I go. I travel whenever I can, with the goal to explore new places and meet new people (I love having friends from all over the world). Genuine human connections are my thing, not to mention I’m a deep person, but I don’t mind small talk if necessary.

I'm a freelance photographer. When I'm not taking photos, I'm either teaching English to kids, or on a plane/bus/train somewhere! I love talking about anything and everything under the sun, and at the same time I can listen too!

I am friendly and open to other people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting locals and people from all over the world and learning about their lives and cultures. I am genuinely interested in the stories of the people that I meet, I think that most of the coolest people I've met, I've met during my travels. And some of the most interesting ones have been my CS hosts/surfers themselves that I’ve met while couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching films with action/comedy/drama/romance plus a really good storyline. Good effects/cinematography without a good storyline just don't make it for me.

I wish I had the time to actually finish reading a book.

I like songs that have good lyrics. Listening to a good beat is fine but it has to have nice words to go along with it too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first couchsurfing experience-- celebrated Christmas with a bunch of strangers that soon became family in a city I was unfamiliar with, hosted by someone I had never met prior to that trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make the most out of your camera (manual setting wise)
I can take your portraits!
If you want, you can share with me your story and I’ll share with you mine too :)
I’m fluent in Italian, English, and Filipino so I can teach you all that you would like to learn ;)
I can try and cook Italian pasta/Filipino food or make the best Mediterranean salad! In any case, if you are a good cook I would just rather learn from you! lol

Sharing is caring— so if I’m about to eat a banana and you’re sitting beside me with nothing, I would gladly give you half of my banana. If you haven’t eaten in days you can have my banana plus I will try and cook something else for you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
