CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to run on all kinds of terrains and landscapes in the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm from California and Hawaii, I can't help but be laid back and smiley.

PHILOSOPHY

-Right now, somewhere out there, someone who is busier than you is running.
-Face your fears often.
-Believe that of all the parallel dimensions of your life that you've ever created, you're currently living in the best possible outcome.
-You can't control always control the situation you're in, but you can adjust your attitude about it. Choose to be happy whenever possible.
-Dreaming takes no effort, planning takes some effort, doing takes guts.
-Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, remember to ground yourself. Feel the ground beneath you, the wind in your hair, the sun in your face, and every complex taste of your food. If you can't appreciate the moment, you won't appreciate your dream destinations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've so far only ever couch surfed and hosted traveling friends whom I'd already met previously. I suppose that sort of traveling is more like slumber parties than it is Couchsurfing... I enjoyed it anyway!

Interests

I like running, hiking, cooking food, taking pictures of it, and then eating it, reading, beach-ing, and hiding away from the cold. I'm Filipino, and Filipinos are known for their hospitality, so come on over and make yourself at home ^_^
