Hi! I'm a Filipino/Chinese-American on a working holiday in AustraliaI love to travel, learn about other cultures, try new foods, and see as much as I possibly can. I love the outdoors- hiking, camping, snorkeling, anything really. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences, and making new ones! I'm pretty laid back and like to go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe one of the best ways to experience a country is by getting to know the people who live there. Hearing their stories, learning about their culture, exploring with them, cooking with them, and just getting to know them. I think it’s important to have an open mind when traveling, to fully experience and understand a new culture.
