Hello, I'm Gab from Makati, Philippines! I'm a working professional who finds joy in cooking, staying active, reading, traveling, and connecting with diverse individuals. Excited to share experiences!

Having had wonderful encounters while traveling, I aim to pay it forward by hosting fellow travelers visiting Manila. If you're seeking connections with like-minded explorers, I'd be honored to host you!

Passionate about sustainability and staying informed about global events, despite a lifetime in bustling Manila. I adore languages and am currently learning Deutsch (attending A2 classes on Saturdays). A language exchange would be fantastic – I can teach you Filipino if we meet!

I enjoy understanding people's stories within their cultural context, valuing local culture and communities. My aim is to assist travelers in need, preferring not to host typical tourists but those who appreciate a deeper connection.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a diverse music taste – Tina Turner for an energy boost, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for focus, and currently exploring newer tunes by Ofenbach and Raye for a fresh vibe.

For movies, I prefer documentaries and historical features. I appreciate them for their informative and thought-provoking content, offering a unique blend of entertainment and knowledge.

For books, I'm drawn to self-help and self-development genres because they provide valuable insights and practical wisdom, helping me navigate life's challenges and continuously grow as an individual.
