About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit all 7 continents

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the United States (East Bay area close to San Francisco) and moved to the Philippines when I was 16 years old. After university I worked in Manila in the retail and hospitality industries.

In 2008, I was presented with an opportunity to see the world and get paid to do it! I worked for the past 4 years on 5-star luxury cruise ships traveling all over the world--primarily in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Baltic regions. I have thoroughly loved my explorations however have recently decided that there is no place like home! In January, I returned back to Manila and am opening a new chapter of my life... :)

I am very talkative and outgoing. I love to meet new people and see new places. I'm a bit of a girlie girl...not big on the climbing and strenuous walking but if it is required to see something absolutely breathtaking I can hack it. I love the water and the beach...thankfully the Philippines has some remarkable beaches. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm would love to meet new people and show them around Manila.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am pretty new to Couch Surfers. I opened this account last year however went back to the ship and didn't have the chance to really explore it. Some of my best friends are using this site and have been raving about it! Just wanted to see what the hype is about and hopefully meet some new and exciting people....
