About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Someday I'm going to be free and I will travel the world.

ABOUT ME

I get these sudden immense urges to travel. I mostly book trips on impulse. And most of my savings are spent on these random trips to nowhere. I'm probably gonna grow old with close to no savings, but with a whole lot of crazy stories about travelling to such amazing places to tell to my future grandkids. Oh well.

PHILOSOPHY

"Oh please. Like you didn't know this town was always too small for me. My bones were branded as a wanderer. I could never find a way to leave, but I will, and when I do, it will be the easiest goddamn thing in the world. The world whispers to me in my sleep, it wants me to tattoo itself upon my skin. They say no reason to stay, is a good reason to go."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not yet keen on hosting anyone, but very willing to show you around Manila if you want. Tell me what you want to see and experience, and we can figure out where to go from there.

I really want to get into "voluntouring". Wanna show people my city, to see places I think are worth seeing, meet people worth knowing, and eat food worth sharing. And I'm always down for a spontaneous road trip to the beach.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't tried it before, but very, VERY interested. Let me crash your couch? I swear I won't eat all your food. :)

Interests

Great food and drinks. Seeing the most amazing places in person. Taking lots of photos. Meeting awesome people and gaining lots of friends. Making the days count, and the nights memorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting up at the crack of dawn, and heading out to try and find the whale sharks of the city of Donsol. The guides spot one, jumped in even before the instructor told us to, found myself INCHES away from the gentle giant. CRAZY! Was told not to touch the guy, but how could I not. WTH right, so I did. UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE.
