About Me

I'm a restless soul, and feel alive by doing lots of things. I have most fun when I'm traveling, surfing, exploring and having good conversation. I love the water, the beach! I am a free spirit and I hate labels. My wanderlust will never be sated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more than happy to meet up with fellow travelers for a coffee or drink.I took some photography classes and love taking pictures so I could teach you a little about aperture/shutterspeed/lenses etc...

I love photography because it allows me to find beauty in the ordinary day to day things. I am always going to beaches, parks and interesting places to take pictures. You are welcome to join me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with several CSers in New York. Couchsurfed in Boston. Couchsurfed in France and Switzerland. Joined many CS gatherings and met up with so many surfers in Europe and finally in my home country, Philippines. Couchsurfed in Bangkok and Chiang Mai Thailand during the Songkran, biggest water festival in the world! Met a merry group of couchsurfers in Thailand and traveled with them to Myanmar. Couchsurfing has truly changed my life in a crazy magical way!

Music, Movies, and Books

the book 'God of Small Things' is a personal favorite. I adore Gabriel Garcia Marquez's stories and novels. i read most fiction novels, self-help and leadership books. I prefer books that empower. My favorite movie is 'Love Actually'. I love love love bossa nova and chill out songs. It brings me back to the beach wherever I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

jumping off a cliff and into the sea in Camotes Island, Cebu about 40 feet above sea level. It was just an exhilarating experience! It felt like dying after hitting the surface then being reborn after gasping for breath. Getting crazy and wet at the songkran in Thailand. Climbing up Grosser Mythen in Switzerland and seeing the beauty of the Alps from the peak. Surfing crazy waves in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
