Once in while, I travel outside my country, particularly in Asia. Basically trying to learn both the differences and similarities of various cultures. I have made good friends in my past trips, and I think friendship is one of the best takeaways from them.

I have an active lifestyle. I run and am a member of a mountaineering club. While I travel new places, I do landscape photography on the side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to diversify my network and connect with sensible strangers to build good friendships.

Interests

Most of the time, I'm lost in trying to do many things at a single time. It's not easy at all!

• cocktails
• coffee
• mountaineering
• history
• visual arts
• japanese culture
• landscape photography
• writing poetry

Music, Movies, and Books

I can jive with any type of music (but I personally prefer Indie Pop, Instrumental Hiphop and Classical often times), Mostly non-fiction (biographical/language/documentary/culture books), Sci-Fi/Action/Tear-jerkers 🙃

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went up in the mountains in Mindoro (a province in our region) on my 22nd birthday to initiate an outreach to the marginalized Hanunuo Mangyan (indigenous tribe) children with a colleague and two volunteer strangers to help me out. It was life-changing!

Also, recently, I've tried scuba diving. It was an amazing experience to explore marine life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plainly unique conversations or some local food I guess. I don't have much, but I can cook though!
