About Me

Outgoing and crazy person who moved to the desert dunes of Abu Dhabi.

I'm an only child hence growing up I have been enamored with all the love and attention in the family. Now, I wanted to discover the world on my own and be free and independent, away from the comforts of home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I love travelling (prefer solo travelling and meet locals/solo travelers)
2. I like meeting new people to grow my international network
3. I thrive in making friends and share fun stories
4. I'd love to share things about my culture and all the things you want to know about where I am from

Interests

I'm a lot to take. I love different things and I like to try different things. Life is just so precious to be closed-minded. YOLO, Yallah?

  • partying
  • reading
  • music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled alone, I guess? I mean, its really amazing for me. I like taking full responsibility of myself and just try to see what the world can offer for me.

I'm also a trying hard adventure junkie. I already did zipline, swam with whalesharks. Probably going to try skydiving soon in Dubai and Panama and do Bungee Jumping in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

1. I like sharing experiences. Young as I am, I have had experienced a lot in life already from growing up in a tropical paradise to working in the capital of Manila to moving here in Abu Dhabi. These life experiences taught me to be tough, dust myself off when I fall, and move forward. It made me who I am now; maybe through these life experiences I could teach someone else how to survive life too?

2. I love learning. Be it languages, culture, religion, politics, etc. I like to listen and see stories from people's eyes. It makes me deepen my understanding more with how and why the people I met act and feel the way they do.

3. I'd love to share and exchange stories. I'm down to anything be it partying, clubbing, drinking or the exact opposite things like hiking, campfires and barbecue, picnics and just plain sharing stories and conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

1. My culture. Expect a lot from a tropical boy coming from a country of 7,107 islands!

2. My life story. I like sharing my life story, just prepare to laugh and cry all at the same time. :)

3. I like cooking Filipino food. Maybe, if time permits and the ingredients are present, I can cook for my hosts too!

4. I can share my kindness in washing the dishes (HAHA). Not a problem at all! :)
