Hi! My name is Kristine and I'm currently making plans to see the world. I was born and raised in Southern California in the United States, but, my parents are from the Philippines. I recently graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration and have completed my TESOL course in Hua Hin, Thailand!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page."
-St. Augustine

I know that there is much to learn! I would love to discover the world through people. There is no better way to experience the best parts of a city than through the locals.
