"Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every moment with love, grace and gratitude."

Free-spirited and open minded individual who always says yes! I always try to follow every path that excites my soul. I try to practice yoga, meditation and mindfulness in my everyday living. I love to share happiness and positive energies to all that cross my path. You never know - something as small as a smile can change someone's day.

Interests

I love food but I'm a terrible cook. If you've got time, I'd love for us to cook a meal together? Win-win situation.

Also I've lived in Mexico for 6 months and learnt conversational Spanish. I'd love to meet people with whom I can practice my Spanish!

I'm an avid (albeit new) vinyl record collector. Hit me up with your local record shops! It's my favourite way to discover new music and pass time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis in Norway, the incredible cenotes in Mexico, meet beautiful whale sharks in the Philippines, meet incredible people whilst living in a remote town in Australia, and reconnect with my homeland, the Philippines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am all about fostering new friendships with all Couchsurfing hosts. So I'm happy to help around the house where needed, or even share some wine with you on a nice cosy night in.
