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

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
My Interests
I eat my way to my travels - I associate the places I visited with the food I ate I love reading, wandering about I also volunteer and Im an advocate for animals most especially strays
