A wonderer, bookworm, arts and music enthusiast, tea hunter, scaredycat, frustrated writer, teacher by profession, learner at heart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanted to prove for myself that this world—and the people that live in it—is indeed awesome.

Interests

I am a huge fangirl, whether it be over football (I once topped the ranking for FC Barcelona Philippines on QuizUp), music artists (I'm dying to see Coldplay live and go to a BTOB fanmeet), or book authors (Khaled Hosseini, anyone?).
