Hello! Hola! Bonjour!

Welcome to Chester’s life in a nutshell! I am a Filipino-Canadian citizen who is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I am a registered nurse (how can I be more Filipino than this). The goal is to be a global citizen and explore as many countries as possible. I believe that through this platform, I can meet diverse people who I can teach, learn and share experiences, knowledge, connections with. I always try to spark joy as my little contribution to make this planet a better place to live.

I enjoy a lot of things outdoors which includes but not limited to hiking, camping, walking, biking, swimming, and playing some sports. I also love photography (I may take too many videos, portraits or selfies) which means I can be your photographer if needed. I love eating out, going for drinks, and chilling at cafes. I also enjoy immersing myself at any place and just get lost in the process. I love spontaneity and adventures.
I keep an open mind into doing things I have not experienced and definitely open to experiencing different cultures and traditions.

With that being said, I am looking forward to meeting you guys. This could either be through hangout or surfing as I am not able to host people just yet.

In the meantime, let’s enjoy this world that we’re living in and send awesomeness to everyone!

Magandang araw sa’yo! Have a great day! Bonne journée!

Also, loud and proud 🏳️‍🌈!

UPDATE: I am currently working in Vancouver. I've been here since June. Could possibly host surfers. Shoot me a request and we'll go from there. I'm staying in a studio apartment with a sofa bed in Yaletown area. Happy to answer questions if you have any.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to discover the limitless possibilities that our world has to offer. To LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE with lots of
gratitude in our hearts.

Teach, Learn, Share

👨🏻‍🏫 I can teach you how to speak Tagalog, teach some photography skills I have

📝 I love to learn so shoot me with what you’ve got and my brain will process them accordingly. Most of all, I love to learn new languages, different history, different cuisines, cultures (especially different festivals and celebrations), and new skills in general.

🗣 Share what I love doing, who I am and where I come from, my knowledge. I can maybe try to cook some adobos or take you to filipino restaurants or let you meet other filipinos. All in all, it’ll be full of laughter and so much food after.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share stories and experiences with a cup of coffee, with meals, or drinks. Explore the city together. Share laughters together. I can also help with chores if needed. Also, my friends swear by my closet organization skills and itinerary making skills so I can give some tips with that. I am always open to sharing what I have and what I know.
