I am an outgoing individual who likes meaningful conversations. I look forward to listening to people's stories and getting to know them.

The ocean is my happy place: I enjoy being underwater (diving), on boats (sailing and kayaking), or on the surface (surfing).

You can consider me social: I enjoy having people over, either hosting couchsurfers or inviting friends for dinner and drinks at my place.

PHILOSOPHY

Stop global whining — get up and do something proactive about it.

Happiness is only real when shared.

Light is easy to love, show me your darkness.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I was introduced to couchsurfing by a Polish traveler I met in Cebu, who is now one of my best friends! I fell in love with the spirit and the community so I've been involved with it ever since, trying to host people whenever I'm free, and hanging out when traveling.

Overall it's been a positive experience.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

If the host allows, I try to cook a traditional Filipino meal (or two). I always clean after myself when staying at people's places.

I'm keen to hangout, exchange stories, have a drink with my host, and learn from each other's cultures.
