My apartment is super small but I am accepting anyone who’s fleeing from the war as a temporary shelter. 🙏🏻

I’m a Filipino engineer based in Finland with an insatiable passion for travel and cultural exploration. I work, save, and pour my energy into discovering new places and connecting with people from around the world. I also organize and lead group trips to share the joy of travel with others. For me, every journey is an adventure, and there’s no better feeling than being out on the road, far from the office grind. Let’s share stories and experiences, and maybe even explore new destinations together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet incredible people from all walks of life and immerse myself in diverse cultures. I believe that the best way to truly experience a place is through the people who call it home. Each connection adds a new perspective and makes every journey even more meaningful.

Interests

I love having deep conversations with fellow travelers or people I’ve just met—there’s something special about the perspectives they bring, which is one of the reasons I fell in love with traveling. I’m always up for different kinds of activities like hiking, trekking, scuba diving, and much more. I also enjoy cooking, reading, spending time in nature, and constantly learning new things. I’m open to all kinds of adventures and, of course, I have a deep appreciation for music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Paramore is my all-time favorite band, and I grew up listening to a lot of emo music. I’m into rock, folk rock, and pop, with artists like Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots, Evanescence, Boygenius, Wet Leg, Linkin Park, Billie Eilish, Lorde, and Turnstile constantly on my playlist.

Books
I’m a huge fan of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” series. I also enjoy more modern reads like “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck” and “Everything is Fcked” by Mark Manson.

Movies
“The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy and “The Hobbit” Trilogy are my go-to favorites, hands down!
