I was born in the Philppines, grew up in Scarborough, Ontario and now live on my own in Vancouver, British Columbia. I'm a singer-songwriter and I just recently completed my debut EP. I try to meditate everyday, I love reading self-help books, nature walks, travelling, extreme sports, eating and drinking out, dancing and I'm open to trying new things. I just want to experience what life has to offer and create memories with awesome people along the way. :)

Mantras I live by:

Loving yourself, is a foundation to all relationships.

I will accept all things with humility, humour, compassion, forgiveness and gratitude.

All emotions deserve to be honoured. All you can do is accept that it is there and give it the space to be. Because this too, shall pass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know different people of all walks of life. I think through couchsurfing you get to meet people who are open minded and have a passion for new experiences, connections and adventures. You also get to crash on their couch and find out places to check out through a local's perspective.

Interests

As you can see, I love nature activities! I'm also a foodie, so I do enjoy checking out cool restaurants (especially ones with Happy Hour), I love wine and cocktails, and I love checking out local bands and live music/shows. I'm pretty open to trying new things.
