Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm on my way to exploring every country in the world! Once I have fulfilled this dream, I plan to go to outer space!!!
ABOUT ME
I am in love and addicted to travelling. I started travelling at a young age with my family. I then continued traveling by myself when I was 18. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Australia when I was 3 years old. In my spare time I love hanging out with friends, exploring different parts of my city, watching movies, going to concerts, and having an active lifestyle. I always love to have a laugh and exchange stories. I love meeting and being surrounded by great people.
PHILOSOPHY
I am very open minded and accept people of all beliefs and backgrounds. I treat others in a way that I would like to be treated. Always smile! It's good for yourself and those around you :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I was young, I always enjoyed meeting new people from all walks of life. Learning and exchanging stories with them and creating new awesome memories. I also believe this is the best way to travel around, through getting to know locals and submerge myself is their culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
+ In the Himalayas of Nepal, I had to dig a huge hole to use as a toilet. It got really gross so I ended up doing my business in the wilderness...also a monkey bit me in the same area. Not while I was pooping though lol
+ I jumped off a train in India. My natural instinct to do a commando roll is probably what saved my life. I still cringe every time I think about it! I do not recommend doing this!!!
+ I was completely high from eating "Happy Pizza" while I was being interviewed in the Australian embassy in Cambodia. I was there because my passport was stolen the day before.
+ A friend and I broke into a special room in a royal palace in Korea, just to take photos lol
+ I almost got abducted by a shop keeper in Thailand!!!
+ The first time I ever got drunk was when I was 15 and in a room full of Russians who kept giving me this drink...by the end of the night I was completely drunk and could understand everything they were all saying lol
I know they're more than one thing! And I'm not sure how amazing they are, but they are definitely crazy!!! haha
Teach, Learn, Share
Hmm I'm not so sure yet! Perhaps we can discover this together! Haha
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can always offer a great conversation! I love to talk about everything and anything! From philosophy to the paranormal or extra terrestrial, personal experiences to history and social science. Open minded conversations and always up for a good laugh! I also love jamming out! So if you play an instrument lets have a session!
If i'm available, I would be more than happy to show you around the city or any cool places around! Always willing to help with any questions and queries :)
I love food! So I am more than likely going to offer you something to eat! haha
