I am originally from the Philippines then moved to Illinois and finally settled in California. Lived in San Diego and the Bay Area but LA’s home for me. I love the city. I like the diversity. I continue to explore different places. I am here to make friends from abroad and from local as well. I am also here for cultural exchange. I am a hospital based Physical therapist by profession and help old people mostly. I’ve seen the value of friendship among the lives of some of my patients especially if they are alone in their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new friends from around the world. Learn about different cultures. Learn something new.

Interests

I like to travel when I can. I like the dance floor. I exercise my heart with Zumba. I lift weights to keep me stronger and do what I love to do. I try something different every weekend whether eating out, checking local getaways or hanging out with old friends or meeting new ones or taking my family to different places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Coldplay, The Fray, anything….there’s OPM (Original Pilipino Music too!)

Why can’t I get over “Past Lives” if we talk about movies. My heart broke with “‘Manchester by the Sea” . Who doesn’t love “Up”? I like “Up in the Air” as well. They were all academy award nominees.

Unfortunately, I am not a bookworm but I bought a book titled “Heaven Hears”.

Maybe call 911 when I saw someone getting a fire on his car after a minor accident.
