Other than delicious home-cooked meals and craft beer, there are two main things that makes me feel alive: traveling and meeting very interesting people.

I was born in the Philippines, spent half of my life in the the Middle East, and went to college in Portland, Oregon and Austin, TX. I've touched multiple corners of the world and each place changed me. So I'm from every place I've lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly make new friends and get to know the best and seediest parts of Boston's many neighborhoods.

Interests

Finding cozy coffeeshops and cool bookstores, walking everywhere, people and nature-watching, free concerts, dancing to the 80s and 90s, writing and making short films.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: moody electro pop when it's dark and gloomy outside, smooth jazz and classical after work, Pentatonix when working out, and quirky folk music when I want to impress someone.

Movies: Dark comedies, historical dramas, and lots of foreign films.

Books: British Women Literature, The Idiot, Chicana Literature, Adrienne Rich, and Elena Ferrante.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bubble Soccer. But really, running around trying to score a goal by tackling people and dodging while inside an inflatable balloon is pretty amazing.
