About Me

Hello there! I'm a tech entrepreneur from the Philippines and currently traveling around the US for 6 months. I just got my bachelor's (at 19) and decided to travel around the world for a year with nothing but my backpack and a thousand bucks in my pocket.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler, I think couch surfing with locals is an authentic travel experience. I've met a lot of nice people in Seattle and Las Vegas who were nice enough to provide office space and rooms since I got here. So far, I'm loving my stay and am still really thrilled to meet startup founders in the West Coast. I'm here for an immersion trip and learn about what startups are doing here in the US.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First small buyout was when I was 17 and another got funded by VCs when I was 18.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm totally random and I love sharing/hearing crazy ideas! If you're looking for a skill to learn, I can definitely help with web design, CSS, prototyping and developing minimum viable products.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can barter my skills for accommodation and help startups with their business strategies, as I have experience in scaling startups and raising capital from VCs.
