About Me

I'm the kind of person that wants something new, something exciting, something challenging and I want to explore to indistinct places. My trips are planned, researched and organized as much as possible — for all the good any of that does. More often then not, my trips turn into equal parts comedy of errors, wrong turns and distractions by shiny objects. In other words, Accidental Adventures.

I am a Filipino by heart and blood. I worked as School Teacher in the University of the same school where I graduated when I was 22. I taught Mathematics Subjects and some Engineering stuff. After awhile, I shift career and move to tourism industry. I continue my passion in Scuba Diving and eventually ended up as a Scuba Diving Instructor for years and up to date. And right now, I am doing a volunteer work as an English Teacher here in Ecuador.

As what George Bernard Shaw quoted, "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself," thus, I'm making a kind of life that it might not be in a golden platter but an enjoyable, unforgettable, worthwhile and with contentment plus satisfaction to top it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“I could try composing wonderful musical works, or day-long entertainment epics, but what would that do? Give people pleasure? My wiping this table gives me pleasure. And people come to a clean table, which gives them pleasure. And anyway" - the man laughed - "people die; stars die; universes die. What is any achievement, however great it was, once time itself is dead? Of course, if all I did was wipe tables, then of course it would seem a mean and despicable waste of my huge intellectual potential. But because I choose to do it, it gives me pleasure. And," the man said with a smile, "it's a good way of meeting people. So where are you from, anyway?”
― Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons

This app is one of the gates to meet and great people all over the world. I like meeting new people with different walks of life, sharing wisdom, smile on the face, and learning from them because everyone has a story to tell.
