Hey! How is it going?!

My name is Adrian, I was born and raised in Italy but my heritage is rooted in the Philippines.

People close to me would describe me as a calm, kind and reliable person, a thoughtful and caring friend always ready to pack his bags and convince you to join in on an adventure.

I’m more an active listener rather than a charming storyteller. I have my fair share of anecdotes I could tell you but I truly enjoy hearing about other people’s stories and learning from their experiences.

I’d love to connect with cool people from all walks of life. I’m here to make friends and meaningful connections.

I enjoy long walks and good conversation, thrift shopping and contemporary art exhibitions and design. I’m always up for grabbing food and drinks any time of the day when I’m free. I want to try new things and get out of my comfort zone. I’m not really a party animal but if vibe is right and you are convincing enough, you might get me dancing with you on the dance floor or singing along at karaoke.

Let’s connect! Hit me up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is the perfect community where to find like minded people but also learn more about the beauty of diversity. I’d love to meet both locals and travelers, make good memories and share unique moments together.
