CURRENT MISSION

"Poo-tee-weet?"

ABOUT ME

I will already love you when I meet you.
Unless you just really suck. (Joking.)

I have been told I have a huge smile & vampire teeth.
Don't worry, I don't bite. (I may gnaw.)

There are times when I talk/laugh so loudly, your ears will not know what awesomeness just entered them.
I'm Filipino. So it's practically genetic. (You'll just have to learn to love that part, sorry.)

:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've barely started...but I've already met some amazing people from all over the world, attended several CS gatherings, explored what my awesome city has to offer, & have really just fallen in love with the idea of CouchSurfing!

I CouchSurfed in Spain & Greece for the first time in June. I can say traveling would not be as fun and fulfilling as it can be spent with a local from the country. It's not really the landmarks, churches, & museums that I remember or am excited to tell stories about when I get home, (although, those things are great too!) but it's the wonderful people I've been so lucky to meet through CS.

Interests

I work with babies, pretty sick ones. But I gotta admit that one of the best things about my job is seeing a former 24 weeker/500gram-er get to go home months later looking beautiful and fat! I've also realized the most hilarious thing is watching a baby laugh. Holy crap, nothing makes my day than seeing a baby laugh. I respect those resilient little angels so much.

Other things that are great: TEXAS, photography, sunshine, boldest of the bold coffee, discovering secrets, traveling/road trippin', hair that goes on and on and on, old vinyl records, crooked smiles, animals that look oddly like their owners, water caught on spiders' webs, the smell of old books, guitar callouses, people who catch me off guard...but really just people in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love live music!!!

My favorite book is The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham...but authors I enjoy are Fitzgerald, Daniel Quinn, Ayn Rand, Vonnegut. The smell of bookstores make me happy and I hope they never become obsolete.
