CURRENT MISSION

Trying to make friends in far away places, possibly find some couches to sleep on, or people to meet up with when I visit new countries.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Philippines, but came to the US at a very young age. I don't know much of the culture or language, but I am willing to learn. I would like to go back there someday, and possibly live there for a short period of time. I like music (listening and playing), computers, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll figure it out when I get there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about this site through a friend and a film-festival, so I thought I'd try it out. I am trying to reach out to new people to make contacts, possibly make some friends and have some couches to sleep on when I visit different cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this website; but have stayed with friends while in other countries.

Interests

Playing music, listening to music, computers, building computers, ice hockey (Boston Bruins), meeting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Japan was very eye opening and made me more curious to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied animation for several years at several different schools in Boston. I enjoy stop motion the most, although I've worked with computer animation and 2D traditional. After all that, I ended up working as a computer programmer and know various computer languages. I feel that I am fairly tech savvy and enjoy tinkering with new gadgets. I like to build computers. I like ice hockey, and played for almost 8 years as a kid. I play several instruments, guitar, bass, drums, a little bit of keyboard, and have done some music programming. I'm sure there are other things that I am missing, but I consider myself more of a jack of all trades, although a master at none.
