CURRENT MISSION

To Experience the World, as a Ninja-Pirate with a lemon twist and a super dry beer!

ABOUT ME

I'm essentially a laid-back dude who likes to read and learn new things all the time. The Travel Bug perennially bites me, and it itches like hell if you don't always have the means to go to your next destination. ^_^ That's why the next best thing is to share experiences vicariously through other travelers. It's only topped by the mind-altering possibility of making new friends from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn as much as i can about the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am eager to show CSers around my city, to share thoughts and cultures with the world in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been contributing to the CS community mostly as a co-host, and with showing people around Manila. Some of the really memorable ones are the trips and outings we organize for CS Manila.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, it would be the Couchsurfing Project. The gamut of ideas and exchanges that occur within Couchsurfing not only espouses respect, tolerance, and open-mindedness to other cultures, but also nourishes real friendships along the way. Teaching others about this project, learning more with time, and sharing to the world the many positive experiences that can be had with this great perspective. To this mix, I'd like to add and share what knowledge I have in photography, filmmaking, design and storytelling at large. Let's talk about that when we meet!
