CURRENT MISSION

I just love meeting people, trying new foods, and enjoying this one life I have.

ABOUT ME

Just like my mission says, I would love to travel the world and I definitely love trying new foods. I will try any food once, but it doesn't mean I'll like it...
I love music, meeting people, and am down for an adventure and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

Things in life can happen in an instance, so try to live according to your will and at what makes you happy, even if it means being an individual and stepping out on the limb on your own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate as a host and surfer. I am still new to this site, but I've done a small bit of traveling in my life, especially growing up in SE Alaska. Now that I am living abroad and hoping to travel more, I would love the chance to not only stay at other surfers' places and vice versa, but I would love to learn more about new people, their culture, and their town/country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed through friends of friends and when traveling for school sports/activities throughout Southeast Alaska (where I'm from.). I've also stayed with friends and family and family of friends in many traveling adventures, both in the US and internationally.

I also surfed twice so far, both being amazing experiences with some amazing people! So humbled to have met them and to have been received with such amazing hospitality.

Interests

I'm a very active, sports enthusiast. I swam competitively from 7 years old up to finishing high school but still do it recreationally. I love sports and music. I like to consider myself a sporty nerd.

I also really like traveling, if I can afford the cost and time. And you'll always find me with my camera when I'm traveling. I think there's something amazing about capturing a moment in one shot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have an interesting perspective since I grew up in a small fishing town in Southeast Alaska. I'm also Filipino American, so I love sharing stories about my family, Filipino culture, and of course, Filipino food :)
