Hey, Luis here! Well, my actual name is Louise which seems to me kind of girl-like. Haha! Thanks to my dad who got it from an encyclopedia, specifically referring to Lake Louise in Canada, beautiful lake though. So yeah, I prefer using Luis as will be easier for reference sake, I think. :-)

I am from the Philippines who is currently based and working in Qatar for a few years now, and whenever I get the chance, I do travel to see new places and meet people of different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am kind of an introvert but open-minded person and one of my missions in life is try to open myself more to people and to the world, and I really believe that this is one of the best platforms.

Plus, meeting people of new places is an absolute fun! :-)

Interests

I do things very randomly, depending on mood. But I love cooking, cats, painting (been trying), playing the guitar (not a pro), traveling and meeting people (whenever I get the chance), gardening and photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play the guitar but not a pro and I don't have a specific music genre or type that I listen to, just whenever I feel like it although I enjoy songs with powerful heartbreaking and sad lyrics. Haha! I prefer watching TV series over movies. And not into books, unfortunately. :-(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe the unplanned hiking I did in Scotland where the next day, I couldn't even walk properly. Haha!

Teach, Learn, Share

Just ask and will see and do my best. :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Definitely share stories, can cook, hangout somewhere, a good laugh, and anything that comes the way.
