我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love learning about foreign cultures, and for me, the best way to do that is to travel. The second-best way is to meet travelers who have come to visit. That's the main reason I'm here.

I hear there are a lot of travelers / couchsurfers from all over the world who come to the Philippines, and it would be awesome to meet them. I'd also love to meet other couchsurfers when I go visit other countries. It's always nice to have friends from different parts of the world.

I'd love to help acquaint foreign travelers with the Philippines; maybe when it's my turn to go visit their country, I'd get some help back in return? :)

兴趣

I enjoy good conversations about culture, languages, travel, literature, film, art, politics, philosophy, psychology, etc. And I wouldn't mind having these conversations with a few beers on the side. I love good food, too, so I like discovering new places to eat :)

When traveling, I like to seek out thrills - whether that be rafting through rapids, going on extreme roller-coasters, or scuba diving. My principle is to try (almost) everything at least once!

教，学，和分享

I'm very interested in language learning, so maybe we can exchange languages? I can teach you Tagalog or English for your own native language :)

I'd be more than happy to learn about your culture, too, and if you want to learn about mine, I'd be more than happy to share.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I know how to cook, so maybe I can cook some Filipino food for you. And while we're eating the food, some good conversation to go along with it, too :)
