ABOUT ME

Always curious about what's on the other side; love the color green; appreciate a well-prepared home cooked meal, which my mother has spoiled us with as we were growing up; fascinated about anything handcrafted; likes meeting new people who are different from me so I can learn from them, and vice versa :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would be nice to meet fellow surfers abroad, and those visiting my hometown so I can give them some tips at the very least ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to one very soon! :D

Interests

Local dishes/delicacies of the place I'm visiting; fashion & style; tea - the more exotic, the better; ice cream - because who can resist the joy of ice cream; books, magazines, and bookstores - I can spend an entire day just being inside one, just browsing to my heart's content; music - from mainstream pop to more indie ones; people who follow their dreams and make things happen for themselves; adventurers :)
