I've been living in the Philippines pretty much my whole life, but have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel around the many beautiful cities around the world, including those that are in my own country.
I didn't think that I would end up travelling as much as I do now, but when I first traveled to Taipei in 2006, that's when the travel bug hit me, and I've been traveling ever since.
For the most part, I've been a very "boring" traveller. Sticking to the conveniences of a typical "tourist", I'd stay in hotels and refer to guidebooks. Recently however, I've started exploring the many amazing wonders that other travel options provide. I didn't think, for instance, that staying at a hostel would be a great way to meet new people from around the world.
So sticking to "about me", I also love new experiences that new cultures provide. I'm a huge foodie and I love to try everything that locals eat, from the more common food options, to the most exotic delicacies. I also spend a good amount of time shopping whenever I visit other countries, especially for brands that are not locally available in the Philippines. And of course, people! I'm always amazed at how little I know about other cultures, when I meet new people and it's that same unique characteristic that makes me want to meet more people and learn more about their story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Which brings me to why I'm here.
I'd love to meet new people and hear their stories. e
I'd like to meet people who are passionate about what they do, and even more fantastic if some of our interests overlap.
Seeing a city from someone else's perspective, someone who has lived in it, would just make my travels even more memorable.
