ABOUT ME

i design, i travel, i eat and i'm hungry for more.

PHILOSOPHY

there are a number of quotes that i ascribe to:

"be whole and all things will come to you" - lao tzu
"we are the ones we have been waiting for: - hopi proverb
"one must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star" - nietzche
"to play it safe is not to play" - robert altman

i look at this as part of my philosophy and i always ascribe to continuous growth. i am a student of life and strive for finding beauty in the ordinary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can tour you around Manila, when schedule permits. Whenever I have friends come around from other countries, I enjoy showing them around Manila -- a slice of local life and what's great about this city. I have a friend who stated that his city Bangkok is always aplenty with good food. I say something similar -- Manila is aplenty with good music.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enjoyed it immensely when I surfed for the first time in Malmo, Copenhagen and Aarus -- been a blast meeting new people and learning new perspectives.
