About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To roam around the Philippines and actually live on as many islands as I can before I reach 40, because by then, I'd have to start over. Life begins at 40 right?

ABOUT ME

I am new to travelling. It never occurred to me that I'd actually feel the need to go places, until I realized that there's so much beauty outside the four corners of my computer screen. I do not have travelling gears yet, I am working on it. I'd like to go places alone and meet new people because I feel that I've lost my sense of being a real person after years of working online. I hope this site (and you) can help me. I am writing a book and travelling will surely help me get past chapter 3 (I guess I lost inspiration too).

PHILOSOPHY

Life ends. I am going to live it the way I see fit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be more of a surfer than a host, but as soon as I get settled on my new location, I'll be hosting as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. Zero. Nada. I've always rented rooms (which is very costly).

Interests

Beaches, writing, psychology, tattoos, jazz music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into books, but not the best-seller ones. I love books that talk about life and how cruel it can be. I also love music and I appreciate any kind. I am more into jazz recently though.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you cannot find a host in Caramoan Islands in the Philippines, look online for Ramil Cruel or send me a message so I can give you his contact details. His last name is the exact opposite of his character. He is a boatman/tour guide/cook/drinking buddy. He will let you rent a spare room in his house for a price that is cheaper than a bucket of local beer per night. Google him, he's becoming famous.

- Just been to Samal Island and met this wonderful "habal" driver/ tour guide, Kuya Dodo Radana. PM me for his contact details. He's such a wonderful person. I will not forget how he persuaded me to jump into a waterfall while assuring me that he'll catch me even if he gets wet (he didn't have any spare clothes). I didn't do it because I was too afraid, but I appreciate his offer. He did it because he wanted me to experience how fun it was.
