I am a 30-something business owner, artist/designer, and work-a-holic, who have just now finally realized that I needed a real break. Traveling with my partner, we are in search of a place where we can share what we do and hopefully learn more from others.

We have also just started writing in our travel blog, www.urpinaybyahera.com, where we aim to share the best in both the world of travel and work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to see the world, experience more, eat good food, and meet new people of the same interest.

Interests

Adventure, mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Love the beauty of architecture, and the mix of beach and woods.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very flexible when in comes to different genres of music, but on a vacation-mode, I'd prefer something serene and calming sounds. When it comes to movies (or books), I prefer something that the mind/imagination and soul can feed into. So, I'd pass on the hardcore drama and love-stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to jump out of the corporate world, be free from routine, and booked the next flight out of the house. And it felt good!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not the best English speaker, but given the chance to share my knowledge, I'd definitely be open to teach basic English. I am also availabe to teach art (painting, pencil, watercolor, pastel, any available medium).

In this journey, what I aim to learn is not just the culture of my hosts, but also some insights in life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I don't really speak a whole bunch of other languages aside from Tagalog, if anyone wants to learn. But, I think I can help in the kitchen. Or if you have a business, I can share some marketing design needs, if you'd like?
