I live with these words: Akyat (Hike), Padyak (Bike), Lakwatsa (Wander), and Sagwan (Row) I mostly travel, do road trips, explore new places and um... spontaneous hang outs and chill outs are my thing. You can connect with me through IG: abiyahera.

Update: July 2025, I recently moved to France with my French partner (whom I met on couchsurfing in 2017)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A lot of people I meet say I'm a people person therefore I conclude, I would like to meet more people, to expand network, and to share stories, and socialize with them.

Update: We are (me and my French partner) opening our home for people who needs a place to sleep in, to appreciate the beauty of Western Vosges.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It all boils down on travelling solo:
hiking a mountain alone (without a guide), spending one semester as exchange student, volunteering, and most of all being immersed in a new culture that I get to experience.

Update July 2025: I took a leap and bought a one way ticket having a long stay visa to France. Now I am slowly getting my way and opening the door of our home to anyone who needs a place to stay and share stories with us!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach languages I speak, Science and English (I was a teacher!), and the skills that I have. Learn new cultures and immerse myself in it. Share stories and experiences that I had through travelling and working while travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of experiences I had, sharing my skills, as well as a bit of entertainment. A hosting if he/she is coming to my place/country as well. I can cook!! I can share my secret recipe of adobo!
