Hey! I am Mae currently living in Sweden but came all the way from the Philippines.

I like to meet people, they are very interesting. Everyone has something to tell, it can be a good or bad stories but I am all ears. I particularly joined couch surfing as (I guess) all people here likes to travel and travellers has this different views about life, places and a lot of things that I find very interesting and educational.

In Sweden, I live in Gothenburg and I work in the kitchen which makes me happy because I meet travellers like me inside the kitchen and we get to share stories and recipes! Lucky, yes?

In the Philippines, I live in Bataan, Balanga, 3 hours away from Manila. We have nice - quite beaches as not so many tourist visit my hometown as it's very small but I like it. My parents owns a small - filipino type restaurant or we call it "carinderia" and they serve pretty good food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To hear great stories from different wanderers.

*I need to justify one or two things. I am here to meet wonderful people and it has been amazing experience for me. I take anyone I can take in my apartment as it is hard to find a host in my city but don't get me wrong if I don't accept nor reply to your messages- I get quite a lot. But one thing that stuck to my head was people has been saying that couchsurfing became a dating site- I'd say, maybe but this is my opinion as some people take it to the next level- sure do so though don't assume everyone does that- I am here to meet you, share stories, cook food together and have fun.*

Interests

Books. Old books, they smell nicer. Food. I like to eat, a lot and would be nice to meet fellow couchsurfers who has the same passion when it comes to eating. :) I am interested in a lot of things and sometimes, it's a problem because I can't focus on one thing. Well, to be honest, we are surrounded with different interesting things so you can't blame me. I am not sure if I am still on the subject but you get my point, YE?

Music, Movies, and Books

Books. I like Bob Ong books. Non - fiction. History.

Movies. I like to watch documentaries. To be honest, I would like to make one but instead of me only making it, I would like to pass the camera to anyone I will meet here and they will continue it until it gets to me again. It will be a 300++h of video or maybe a photo of everyone who will get the camera and their favourite place.

Music. I listen to mostly everything.
