ABOUT ME
3x years old, not so nomadic anymore accountant. I have a home office, but have now a home adress in Panglao, Philippines. I've been living in Asia for the last 8 years, mostly Singapore. Last year has been mostly in the Philippines... mostly in Alona untill the earth quake, and then Coron at the same time as Yolanda decided to pay us a visit. Now we are back in Alona where we will stay quite put for a year or more, focusing on freediving and spreading the love.
PHILOSOPHY
Take it slow, savour every instant. Feel more than think. If you think about anything for too long, you can reach 3 different conclusions each one as valid as the other Listen, see, touch, taste, enjoy :)Life is too short.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted a few timesback in Singapore. Haven't been that active, exccept for telling anybody I meet how great an idea couch surfing is. Now I can host, and will gladly share my humble abode with any who want to come :)
Interests
I got the diving bug a couple of years ago. I also started freediving 1 year ago. Hubby got so into it that he is now an instructor (freediving). Otherwise cooking, reading (mostly fantasy and SF, even though a bit of everything creeps in my Kindle from time to time). Oh, and taking underwater pics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Waking up in the morning. Amazing. Every time.
