I used to be a worrier and loner. Growing up, I had difficulty making friends but once I get to know someone, I'm pretty easy to be with. Over the years, I have harnessed my social skills and though I'm still mostly introverted, I can get along with people pretty well. 😝

I have a full-time job in a Financial institution but my heart was made to travel so I would constantly plan trips and grab every opportunity to travel during leaves and weekends. I also blog as a hobby.

I love the beach and look forward to summer days. I have such an affinity to the sea maybe because I was born near the beach in a small remote island. Funny thing though, I never learned how to swim.

When not on a trip, I read books or sleep. Always just a choice between those two. Sleep almost always wins though. Haha. :)

I have only recently discovered couchsurfing and I wish I knew about it sooner. Hopefully I can host, be hosted, or simply meet people from the CS community.

My favorite places in the Philippines:
Siargao Island
Coron, Palawan
Romblon Island

My dream destinations:
Bhutan
Myanmar
Greece

Happy reading and see you soon!
