Hi, I’m Arvin! Born and raised in Taguig, I’m a laid-back yet adventurous guy who loves meeting people from all walks of life. I’ve been part of Couchsurfing for almost a decade (new account), and it’s been an incredible way to connect with fellow travelers and locals.

I enjoy exploring places both near and far, always chasing that next unforgettable experience. I attended the Makati Couchsurfing meetup before the location changed and loved the energy and diversity of the group.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Couchsurfing is about more than just a place to crash—it's about shared stories, cultural exchanges, and new friendships. I’ve had amazing experiences hosting and being hosted, and I want to give back to the community by hosting events that bring like-minded people together.
