Hey, I'm Kris. I'm from Manila and Tagaytay.

I studied biochemistry, which I never got to practice, and I also studied management, but somehow I wound up in social media marketing.

I'm into sports--mostly football (both kinds) and basketball, beers, Cajun cooking, learning French, and all things sandy (beach and desert).

I also like to think I know a bit about music and movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is perhaps one of the best (def the easiest) ways to meet new friends from all around the world, share whatever there is to share, and learn whatever we can learn.

Also, I tend to get stuck in countries alone a lot cause I always screw up my plans, so...finding someone to hang with makes it better.

Interests

I play (but now I just mostly watch) football; I collect beer bottles; and I usually ramble on with someone about random stuff (intellectual and otherwise)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Dubai is probably the awesomest thing I've done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you around town if we both happen to be in Tagaytay. Also, my cooking is pretty decent, so there's that.

I like learning new languages, authentic ways of cooking your country's food, and foreign cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty awesome drinking buddy, and although I may seem like I don't make a lot of sense, I'm a pretty okay guy to talk to (intellectually and/or otherwise).
