About Me

I am working in Philippines right now. And it’s my dream to travel all over the world, because I am eager to get connected with people from other parts of the world, experience various cultures and lifestyles. Also I am quite interested in getting to know different ideas about life and other things, which, I take, will get us out of the limited and biased thoughts conditioned by our past experience. And traveling enriches my life and makes me more energetic and spirited. I wish to get to know the locals and other travelers and share our life in all aspects.
As to my character, I'm quite gentle, tolerant, open-minded, optimistic, nature-loving and harmony- pursuing.I don’t think I’m an adventurous person, but I would like to try new things, set my mind free and explore as much as possible. I am also trying to get out of the comfort zone and face various fears I have, so as to grow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For traveling, it's an excellent way to get connected with the locals , to meet people, to trust, to tolerate, to share, to learn and to grow, which i believe is the real meaning of traveling. Also it makes it possible for low-budget travelers to travel around. Do to others what you would like others do to you. To take and to give. pay what you get from others forward. Right now my house is not so suitable to host, but I'd like to meet people up and also enjoy showing them around the city. I really get a lot of fun and get to know more about this city, and at the same time I'm also helping people, which makes me love it so much. So if you are the kind of person who are willing to communicate and share, not just for the purpose of finding a free guide, it would be my great pleasure to hang out with you and show you around.
