Hey there! I'm Lissy, 28 yrs old living in Dubai. I'm an Office Manager in an Advertising company. I've been living in Dubai for 4 years and counting. I love to travel and I've been to 21 countries already and hoping to travel more in the future.

I'm a very positive person and try to find the good in every bad situation. I love taking photographs of sceneries, you can check my instagram for sample of my work - @frugalityonfleek . I did taekwondo when I was in university, so I guess I have that Bruce Lee/ Jackie Chan side of me. lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to meet local people and fellow travelers. I want to learn more about their culture, eat their local food and to visit the hidden gems in their country.

Interests

*I love playing boardgames with friends. Im very competitive 😂

*i love watching movies or tv series after work and during the weekends. If you love movies too, then we'll be bestfriends.

* i used to dance when im still in highschool until university. Cheerdancing and modern dance are my favorite.

*i wanna learn new languages so please teach me. Lol

*I love cooking too. I try to learn different cuisines. So far, I can cook some Japanese food like Katsudon, Thai food like Thai green curry, Chinese food like Kung pao chicken, Mexican food like taco, quesadillas, Korean food like bibimbap, kimchi jigge, tteokbokki and many many more. You will not starve when you're with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

SONGS-I love american songs.. Songs by taylor swift, zayn malik, coldplay, chainsmokers.. But lately i'm crazy about this spanish song "DESPACITO".. I think i raped the replay button haha.

MOVIES- comedy, romantic comedy and action movies.. I usually watch a lot of kmovies and kdramas. Please don't judge me haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Balkans for 20 days ALONE: Met some Slovenian friends from airforce and toured me around Slovenia. Hitchhiked 3 times to Kravice Falls from Mostar and hitchhiked back. Met 9 American guys and 2 Croatians and we partied in a boat while cruising Elaphiti Islands near Dubrovnik. Sailed a yacht from Trogir to Dubrovnik with my 2 Croatian skipper friends that I just met in Split. It was one hell of a trip! The trip that I will never forget :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Something I can teach.... apparently English. Also some basic yoga, and I can recommend good Korean dramas. I can also cook for you coz I happen to have some specialties and I wanna share good food with good people.

I wanna learn the language and also the culture. Every time I travel, I try to observe people. And I also ask a lot of questions about the culture, history, politics etc. Its my way of getting to know your country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share with you my traveling experiences, cook food for my guests and also share my life in Philippines and in Dubai. 😁 I live alone so I prefer to host GIRLS than GUYS.
