I'm the most random guy you'll ever know. And since I turned 25, I made a promise to myself to travel more and live life so that's what I'm doing now!

I am on Facebook (facebook.com/markcallado), Twitter (@lxtrmstr), and Instagram (@mwrkc), in case you want to get to know me more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to expand my social circle! It's fun to get to know people from all walks of life.

I first had my couch surfing experience in Bangkok through my friend. We were hosted by an awesome family and it made the trip so much memorable. I wanted to share that wonderful experience to people who are planning to visit Manila. Unfortunately, I cannot host as of the moment, but I will be very glad to show you around! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm the type of guy who tries to immerse himself in everything good.

For books, I like the works of Murakami, Palahniuk, Coelho, Crichton, Eugenides, and Lore. I'm currently into Philippine literature and the book I'm reading now is the second installment of the Janus Sílang series.

I watch almost all types of films, but I guess I'm a sucker for rom-coms. My favorite movies are Across The Universe, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, (500) Days of Summer and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

My Netflix list currently includes Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Sherlock, Suits, Skins, Orange is the New Black, Gossip Girl, Breaking Bad, Family Guy, How To Get Away With Murder, and some Korean dramas.

60% of my playlist is K-Pop, and I am the biggest 2NE1 and Big Bang stan. 20% of it is Pop, which includes Swift, Grande, Mars, Perry and the likes. The remaining 20% is for Alt/Indie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Explored Hong Kong by myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - If you are interested to learn the Filipino language, I am very much willing to teach you at no cost! Haha.

Learn - I am very much interested in learning about your country and your culture.

Share - I joined couch surfing to create wonderful memories and I hope to share that with you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be generally shy at first around people whom I only knew for the first time, but when I start to become comfortable, I become a goofball! Haha. I hope to share that positive energy with the hosts as well as the hospitality and kindness of Filipinos when I get hosted. If you are interested with my life story, I'd be glad to share that with you as well! Lol.
