Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend introduced me to this site as a venue for meeting fellows with restless feet like me.

I like to meet new people and learn new culture, language and tradition, and I think that the site is also a good place for an alternative learning experience of sorts.

Interests

I love reading.
I love writing. I blog. (Visit my blog at eyawanders.wordpress.com)
I love everything indie. I hate the mainstream, mostly.
I love watching anime and US TV series.
I love procedural dramas. I love sitcoms.
I love Ross and Castle and Sheldon and Reid, among others.
I love philosophy and science. Not a rare combination, ayt?
I love my country.
Hell, yeah! I love to travel!
I love a lot of things, really. So, we'd have a lot of things to talk about! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Picked up my backpack and started travelling around the Philippines. Next stop: Asia and the rest of the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share my humble abode but it's too small. But I can share my time and my knowledge of the Philippines. Message me should you want a company in the Metro or anywhere else in the country. I can be your local travel buddy on weekends, and perhaps I could also play tour guide at night; that is, if I'm not busy at work.
(See "My Home" for some of the list of places/ activities I recommend you visit or do when in Manila.)

And, oh! I can teach you Filipino and Ilocano (another language used in the Philippines), if you like. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good company, I guess. I always travel light, so you wouldn't worry about my invading your space much. Should I be staying with a host, I usually bring gifts from home.

Also, I tend to explore the place I'm in. So, I'm usually outside from sunrise to sundown. I would love to roam around with my host, but I can also take care of myself. I would also love to spend the evening chatting and sharing travel stories.
