ABOUT ME
I am Ph.D. Student in Nagoya University majoring in Governance and Law. I used to do a lot of outdoor activities like mountaineering, hiking, camping etc. But these days I am immersed in my studies. I have an interest in classical western history and from time to time and read books of such kind. I was born and raised in the Philippines but came to Japan in 2009 to live with my family who has immigrated here in Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the winter of 2013, I climbed a mountain here in Japan with a friend of mine for 4 days. Winter in Japan is very cold, let alone climbing a mountain in the dead of winter, however, I can say that it was one of the most memorable and amazing things I have done in my life. I will always remember the moment when I was out of our tent, drinking coffee while looking at the snow-capped mountains illuminated by moonlight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Japanese Language and majored in Japanese Studies in my undergrad and because of it I can speak advance Japanese and can talk some stuff about Japan. I had taught Japanese to foreign students here in Japan for around 4 years so I have an experience in teaching Japanese. I can teach Japanese to those who are interested in learning it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can share with hosts are the stories of my travels in other countries and the outdoor trips that I have done in Japan. I can also cook some Filipino dishes.
