I am chill. I haven't been to many places yet but I am working on that. I've travelled around the Philippines, where I grew up, Hong Kong and Macau where I go almost every year and lived in for 2 months in 2014, Bangkok where I had lived for a few months in 2012, Switzerland, mostly in Bern, stayed a year or so in Colombia, not enough time in Ecuador, a few months in Costa Rica. I've been in and out of California, mostly in the Bay Area visiting friends and family. Loved Turkey but didn't have time to check out enough of Istanbul. I've spent some time in the Maldives during Ramazan, in between all that I've been skipping around Jakarta, where I lived for 5 months. I've visited Malaysia and Singapore jumping off from there too. Spent a month in Adelaide. Moved to Boracay in February, couldn't sit still so I spent almost a month in Taiwan, Japan, just spent my summer in the Bay Area. Recently I've been falling in love with Vietnam and Cambodia, while going back and forth between Bali and the States.

I'm trying to do drawing and writing full time too! Beer money! http://asianoble.co

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am game to meet for coffee or drinks, discover the city together, suggest places to go, things to do.

I don't couchsurf but I host whenever I can -- which is rarely. I met most of my friends travelling through CS.

Teach, Learn, Share
