I am a life-long learner. I am a speech-language pathologist but I am a better listener than a speaker. INTP. Enneagram Type 7: Enthusiast. Solo backpacker. Bathroom singer. I get high with conversations over a cup of coffee or a pint of beer. I am a citizen of the world. I paddle for UP Dragonboat Team. I teach in the University of the Philippines-Manila. I am an advocate of disability-inclusive development. I do clinical practice in Manila Doctors Hospital. I am currently taking MA in Psychology. Can't live without good food, movie, music, and books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Aside from my sheer interest in listening to people's stories, I am on couchsurfing because I want to experience more of the culture of a place rather than just merely "visiting" it.

What would be a better way (and cheaper) of doing this than with the help of locals or people who have substantially immersed themselves in it?
