About Me

Nomadic, adventurous, funny, tempestuous, passionate, spontaneous, spunky and unpredictable. I always say..."Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. And my attitude depends on who you are." So if I act like a bitch...its because you're being an ass. But other than that.I'm totally fun-loving and carefree. Anything else, you'll just have to find out for yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CURRENT MISSION
1. To conquer the world one continent at a time and to have more chances and be easier to travel the world as my bucket list.
2. I just want to meet people, help out where I can and try to take a few trips when my money allows. lol
3. It's great to have a place to stay with people who understand the spirit of adventure and really immersing yourself in completely new experiences. I'd like to find like-minded individuals wherever I visit somewhere new, and I greatly appreciate the risk that these people are taking by letting complete strangers into their home. One day I'd like to be able to pay it forward.

PHILOSOPHY
1. Better late than never.
2.Never apologize for your dreams. If it makes you happy, do it. Life is too short to worry about what others think.
3. Actions speak louder than words. When in doubt, base it on their actions.
4. Try everything once and hope to live another day.
5. Why wait for tomorrow when it isn't promised to you.
6. Live the Life you Imagine.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As a host: Provide a clean and relaxing room. Organize day tours and show them what Iloilo has to offer. Take them to the ocean, hit the beaches,take them to the mountains,introduce them to other local CSers and stuff them silly with good old fashioned Iloilo hospitality (with tons of good food!
As a Surfer: Be a responsible and gracious guest. Cook them a good Filipino dinner. Promote Iloilo my province and the Philippines to my hosts and forge new friendships.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you to make a few Filipino dishes like adobo, garlic rice, tinola chicken and sinigang.

Learn:
I want to learn kite surfing, base jumping, Free falling from planes into the ocean. I want to learn how to sail and navigate through stars. But most of all, I want to learn how to photograph like a pro. It's my dream to be given an opportunity to study it and become a travel writer & photographer.

Share:
I have learned that preconceived notions about other people, other countries and other cultures is useless. You'll be surprised how wrong these notions could be based on what the media portrays. It is best to learn things not from hearsay, but rather from personal encounters and experiences.
