You be the judge of me.

But a few modest words.

I'm a Filipino biochemist and writer. I don't really travel for "fun". What I want to do when I travel is take less pictures and take more notes. I'm obsessed with knowing everything about certain places, be it their history, folklore, politics, and etc..

I blog and write about the history of science over at www.scidols.com

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To know how science "works" in other countries. To know the history of a country by talking to its people.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Back in 2009, I decided to travel around Southeast Asia for no apparent reason. At that time, I only had a low-end phone that couldn't even connect to the internet. That meant that I had to travel without consulting the internet for most of the time. I spent around three months doing my research in the library and internet cafes to chart out my trip. I filled one notebook with instructions and maps. I printed out phrases that I could use in each country. And when the time came, there was nothing else to do but move forward. I spent three weeks traveling in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. It was tiresome but memorable. Would probably do it again in 2019 to celebrate its tenth year anniversary. :D
