UPDATE: ❌ NOT hosting in Saudi Arabia (As i am currently staying in company-provided accommodation for employees, i am NOT able to host people in my flat due to strict company regulations). ❌ CS is not tinder/ dating site. please respect boundaries. I've been blessed with wonderful , safe and enriching CS experiences so far, and have made great connections and friendships along the way, and i hope to keep it like that. 🌻🌻🌻 ✅meet-ups/ hangout. Would love to meetup/ hangout. Pls give me a heads-up (a week in advance, preferably) so i can clear my schedule. ✅can host in Philippines WHEN I am there. (april 2026) im a regular "plain jane", low maintenance, adventurous, independent, shy. I'm usually pretty quiet and introverted, and often find myself quite content just to listen to other people talk or just silently observe things around me. i can be a bit socially awkward at times. i dont smoke nor drink alcohol nor do night-outs and parties. i prefer nature, the outdoors, and the bucolic life over urban comforts. i like spending time and hanging out with my hosts. my most memorable travel experiences are those i spent with my hosts and their families, and even random strangers that turned into friends. im a typical provincial person, and sometimes get "scared" and overwhelmed by big cities. i am most happy and comfortable in mountains, rural areas/villages, deserts, caves, or wild camping.
