A global citizen with a passion for purpose-driven travel. For over a decade I've worked in education while advocating for the UN Sustainable Development Goals on an international scale. I've proudly represented the vibrant culture of my native Philippines at conferences and exchange summits worldwide.

As a wanderlust-stricken soul, I live by immersing myself in new cultures, especially through food! When not teaching or presenting on stages across the world, I work to spread social impact campaigns in my marketing specialist role.

I blend my love of backpacking off the beaten path with meaningful community exchanges. I cherish experiences where lasting bonds are built through shared meals, philosophical talks, and exploring all the diversity this world offers. Wherever I unroll my sleeping bag, I hope to absorb new perspectives while sharing my homeland's joyful spirit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined the Couchsurfing community to facilitate meaningful cultural exchange on a global scale. As someone who has found a second home in hostels and guest houses worldwide, I'm committed to paying that hospitality forward.

By opening my home and heart to visitors from around the world, I hope to foster a connection that transcends borders. I aim to provide weary travelers not just a place to lay their heads, but a welcoming space for them to share stories from their homelands. Over freshly brewed coffee in my little kitchen, I look forward to bridging divides and finding common ground through open, engaging discussions about our backgrounds, values, differences, and similarities.

Beyond the four walls, I want to act as an ambassador for the vibrant spirit of the Philippines. By inviting visitors to local markets, mom-and-pop shops, and my favorite off-beat sites, I intend to showcase the rich landscapes, flavors, sounds, and smiles of my country. I endeavor for my guests to leave with a profound, meaningful, and joyful experience of Filipino culture.

To me, Couchsurfing represents a vision for a more inclusive, compassionate, and connected global community. I'm here to actualize that in my little corner of the world!
