About Me

I am a soul who thirsts for connection and adventure. I have been used to risking what it takes to be free. I am starting to think that wanderlust-ing is the real freedom I need. Nature lover, adventure seeker, sunset chaser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a noob when it comes to traveling and exploring places. But the first time I did my solo travel, I just can’t get over the fulfillment I got after reaching a destination I’ve been dreaming of. This community is a big help and guide. The best people to meet when traveling are here in Couchsurfing. I love the exchange of ideas and opinions. Cultures and norms are discussed simply through hanging out with the couchsurfers. I got to meet people who are so full of substance and authenticity. I became inspired to share more of my travels and experiences to the world. Now my soul has been seeking for another place to visit, for new people to meet who are adventurous and complicated like me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff jumping, randomly helped (with other friends) someone who missed his flight, picked up trash of people who are so ignorant to do it! Finally did my first solo travel—-now, on to the next destination!

What I Can Share with Hosts

“Tamdiu discendum est, quemadmodum vivas, quamdiu vivas.”
(As long as you live, keep learning how to live.)

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

As long as our minds are functioning, there’s no end to education. Let us open our minds and let it absorb anything while it can.

Love today, live to die.

Always find something good in every little thing. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.
