Filipino-Canadian student of Anthropology. I went back to school after 5 years of office work, 2 of which were spent living "across the pond" in the great city of London, England. I'm equal parts people-person and a quiet type, book worm and an adventurer, curious but, at times, likes to keep my head down. I find travelling allows me to express these various aspects of myself. I often travel solo and I like when I can spend some time in a new city with people I've just met. Sight-seeing is one thing, but having company is always welcomed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First time I'll be trying Couchsurfing out. I'm actually a bit nervous how I'll be received, knowing that I am relying on the generosity of others without knowing what to give back within my means. As a student, it isn't much, aside from the company I'm willing to share. That being said, I like good conversation and getting to know about people's travels, having a good laugh, and not digging a hole into my credit card.

I've learned how to cook a few authentic Filipino dishes from my parents. I'd be excited for you to try my country's cuisine because it's very unique and set apart from other Asian foods.
