I'm a wanderer who loves to travel the off beaten track. I have lived in Mesopotamia for 5 years then moved to the land of Sindbad and stayed there for another 5 and a half years before finally making my way back to the Archipelago of the Philippines. A country I call home.

I miss the Middle East - the desert, the food, the culture. I am forever in search of legit kebab and shawarma in the concrete jungle of Metro Manila

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking in the streets of Mesopotamia for 5 years. Soaking in the majestic structures of the Mughal Empire in Lahore, Pakistan. Roaming the streets of Hanoi. Seeing Angkor Wat up close.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn about the history and culture of the place I am visiting.

Would love to share my knowledge and expertise about the Far East (history, culture, best place to stay, must do things)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great in organizing and tidying up things - I do it for fun, to destress and consider it a form of exercise.

I can cook as well - if you have an adventurous palate I can cook you a traditional Filipino dish
