I was born in the Philippines and raised in California. I enjoy creating music(beatboxing, singing, spoken word, song writing, rap) and I am currently enrolled in school learning music production. I enjoy looking at landscapes and I find myself always gravitating towards nature. I feel alive whenever I am exploring and this is why I try to have new encounters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ultimately, we're all here out of curiosity and ever since I started CS in 2017 it has been an enjoyable experience. As a creative, traveling is a source of inspiration that is necessary for human fulfillment. Also, it is a great way to learn communication skills speaking to people from various ethnic groups. Exchanging ideas with people from all different walks of life is always enticing. I plan to return the favor for surfers once I have my own place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Indonesia to meet two of my siblings(ages 17 and 21) for the first time and after that I visited Thailand to meet two of my youngest siblings(ages seven and five) also for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a Filipino dish.

I am currently learning about religion and spirituality and I am interested in learning about Global Studies, Social Science, Human Development, Genealogy, Ancient Civilizations, Theology etc.

I'm just a person who looks at the world and I can share my perspective on what I see. I would be more than happy to share my unreleased songs.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.  And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
