i like taking food photos.
my snapshot weapon of choice: a gold casio ex-s600.
i like cats more than dogs.
i'll be fine as long as the bathroom is clean.
exotic food? gimme! gimme!
i love riding public transportation.
i avoid tours; i like to create my own itinerary.
i am slowly embracing fish as truly edible fare.
i love my steaks rare.
i have no qualms about traveling alone.
possible causes of death: too much time indoors, lack of steak in diet.
i take great pride in my packing skills.
i love irreverent humor.
i revel in solo commutes and long walks.
i hate going back on my word.
you can easily make me laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

don't be afraid to try something new. i like to see new things, meet new people, do something i've never done before. it thrills me to do something out of the ordinary, to take a photo of something unusual, to go somewhere i've never set foot on before. these are the things i live for.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Algo increíble que he hecho

dancing with fire poi was surreal, even more so because i used to be deathly afraid of fire.
surfing is also quite an experience. there's nothing like letting the waves make you feel like you're flying.
swimming in the crater of mt. pinatubo.
boating inside palawan's subterranean river.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

i would really love it if somebody taught me to cook at least one dish. :p

i can share my packing skills, though i'm sure you know that already.
