Currently in love with New Zealand. I love it here and hoping to be here for long. 🤞🏽

I am an ex-corporate slave for 6 years in Accenture. I want to devote myself to wildlife care and humanitarian acts - - only if I have that opportunity. I am a genuine 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕤𝕘𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣 person and not the cool kid kind since I dont need to fit in anyones standards. My couch photos are mostly my travel photos either domestic or overseas. Also, I’m an ESL teacher to my Syrian students every Sundays.

I appreciate the beauty of arts, nature, and culture which is what I mainly post in my instagram @𝕡𝕦𝕔𝕙𝕡𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕝𝕒. I love street photography and I wish to experience my first ever snow and perhaps build a snowman! 🤣

Virgo (zodiac), the virgin, for life!

Countries in my bucket list:
1. Bhutan
2. Kazakhstan
3. North Korea

Spirit Animals: Quokka, Chinchilla, Possum 🩶

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being on couchsurfing is same as communication where it is a two way process. One listens and the other party shares. That is my main reason of continuously supporting this app. You'll be able to share your own culture and experiences and in return learn something from your hosts or hangouts. They will eventually turn into a family/friend. Also, the most gratifying part of being here is when you get to be hosted by a family/individual and they warmly welcome you to their home. That is a priceless feeling I get everytime when hosted by a local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

𝐿𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒

1. Solitarily backpacked Asia with the help of AirAsia Asean pass — Asian people get amazed of a person traveling by herself hahaha
2. Work Holiday Visa NZ — the only country in the world that offers to Filipinos and if therell be other countries that would offer in the future then i’ll be too old coz surely they’ll be age restrictions. While in NZ, i’m actively looking for accredited employers..
3. Saved my dog Kingkang when she got lost. Our active and swift dog escaped from our gate and she followed me and my mom while we were on our way to drive to school. I was really worried but I need to attend school. She sat under a big tree and in a place where shes noticeable and I hopped off the public jeepney and took her home.
4. Self awareness, meditation, deep breathing exercise — learned them during the pandemic and made me holistic
5. Worked my first ever 12 hour shift in NZ — Commercial cleaning from 7-10am; recuperate for 2 hrs at St Pierres Sushi lol; 12-10pm Sudima Hotel working as a barista or server
6. Climbed Philippines highest peak with only 1 practice climb before going to a major climb — I did it with the help of badminton. The sports allowed me to move my body a lot like every inch of my body.
7. Drove a motorbike in Bali @ 100km/hr (never drove a motorbike elsewhere lol)
