About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and see the world as much as I could and as long as I still can

ABOUT ME

An easy going person. Loves adventure and discovering new places. Would try anything once and open to all kinds of possibilities. Never limit myself because imagination is boundless and often times great memories are made when you go beyond your comfort zone and try something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Never limit yourself. Possibilities are bound only by your imagination. And always try anything once rather than telling yourself no.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as much as I can and whenever I am traveling staying with a local host wherever place I go to is my first option.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had hosted a couple of people from Russia and had a great time hosting them . Been hosted by couple of guys when I travel to Thailand making my trip easier and enjoyable because of their help and in the process gained new friends.

Had been accepting a few surfers recently from Belgium, Vienna, Canada, Spain, Japan, New Zealand and Taiwan and I am gaining so much knowledge from these people about CS and traveling and different cultures.

Interests

Hiking . Camping. Enjoying the sun, sea and sand on a beach. Going to the gym. Bar hopping and dancing. Watching ballet and opera performances and concerts.

But would try anything once and open to all kinds of possibilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkling at the Balikasag Island fish sanctuary in Bohol, Philippines- and I do not know how to swim and had never learn to swim till now. Still wondering how I survived. LOL

Teach, Learn, Share

Always try to learn the local language even the most basic before traveling to a certain destination.

Respect local tradition and customs though it does not conform to your own- remember your only visiting.
