CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy this very short time that we have on this planet to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I joined Couch Surfing while volunteering with the US Peace Corps in the Philippines and I've loved my experiences traveling safely solo since my time there. I've since settled in the Texas Hill Country just outside Austin with the man of my dreams, our 3 dogs and about 30 chickens. #farmlife. I currently work as an Outdoor Educator at the amazing Earth Native Wilderness School...check them out, you won't regret it!
I believe that the world is full of beautiful, loving helpful people and I would love to share stories, experiences and each others spaces. I'm all about energy exchange so I'll teach you how to macrame or carve a wooden spoon while I crash you place. Peace.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is play!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in crystal clear oceans and hiking mountains to eighty foot waterfalls, the Philippines is a wonder in itself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to read and write Baybayin, the original Philippine characters on which the Tagalog language is based. It's not used anymore and most Filipinos can't understand it so it's nice to be able to share a piece of what could soon be lost culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

This may sound strange but I really enjoy cleaning. If you're busy and you have opened your home to me I would be happy to sweep the floor or wash some dishes!
