CURRENT MISSION I want to explore the world and see what else is out there before I get too old and my body doesn't allow me to climb the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro... ABOUT ME I'm a polyglot. I speak English, Spanish and Ilocano. I'm currently working on improving my Polish, French, Italian and Arabic. I love being active. I like to be outdoors (when the weather permits). I love to run outside, be adventurous and hang out at the beach. I don't drink much and eat pretty healthy. I love going out for coffee and hanging out at cafes. I also enjoy going out to bars or clubs for live music. I love to travel and will take advantage of any opportunity I get to travel somewhere. I'm at a place in my life where I'm completely free and just continue to dream big and achieve every dream I've ever dreamed of. Living life with no regrets :)
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Let me know if you're in Chicago. I would love to meet up for a cup of coffee to chat and tell you what this place has to offer. i'd love to show you around if I have the time as well :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I had my first CouchSurfing experience in New York. Manny hosted my friend and i. we stayed in his home for a weekend. he was very hospitable and he took us out, showed us around a bit, went out for some drinks--had a great time :) nothing to complain about! I've also had a chance to couchsurf in México, Colombia and Ecuador. I've had a wonderful and special experience every time.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I got to go to the biggest tomato fight in the world in 2010! INSANE! Probably ride an elephant in India! See the Taj Mahal. Trek through the desert in Morocco. I don't know...there's A LOT!
Teach, Learn, Share
If we just learned to understand each other better, there would be less conflict in the world
What I Can Share With Hosts
Fun stories from all around the world, a little bit of Filipino and American (Chicago) culture. I also like to sing and dance :)
My Interests
learning new languages, finding language partners, movies, dance, music, futbol (not americano haha)
