About Me

George Bernard Shaw, one of the two people who won both the Oscar and Nobel Prizes, said
"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."

I always believe in the power of two-way communication. It took me places, taught me abundant knowledge and ideas, and allowed me to meet wonderful people, most of whom felt not well understood. I love people of any colour, race, and preference. You and I might not be the same, but there is always one similarity between us: respect for people who value our personal beliefs and choices.
People, in nature, are good, but most of them are just misunderstood. You and I can be good friends if we want to understand each other by setting aside our personal egos.

I love drone photography and videography. I travel to mountain ranges and seashores to get a perfect drone shot or footage for my social media. My flight hour is still below 100KM, but I guarantee you it's more than enough for publicity. You can check it on my Instagram @billylasido. Just mention you see me on Couchsurfing, and I might follow you back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and getting some fresh ideas. My job is related to this, where I try to see other people's perspectives and reach a common goal for all stakeholders and parties. We can also share the cost of the trips. It is cheaper that way, and the more, the merrier.

I can offer you my stories and experiences in exchange for yours. People well-informed are well-lived due to several advantages you might get from the information, and yes, information is the new gold, and I mean it (otherwise, there might not be companies like Nielsen or Deloitte).

Music, Movies, and Books

I have no favourite genre of Music. I love all genres, although I need help understanding heavy metal. If you ask me about "musicians" or artists or music groups that I like, I would say Hardwell, F. Chopin, Michale Buble, Coldplay, 2PM, and Bon Jovi. Like I told you, I have no favourite.

I love space sci-fi movies, the latest that I love is Wandering Earth, Valerian, and Lost in Space, and my all-time favourite is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I hate the idea that we (as humans) are alone in this vast universe. One day, we may cross paths, and we might be alien to them.

I'm not a fan of reading, but I like reading book summaries from getAbstract. I love self-development books with many ideas for tackling specific issues during work and relationships. You can call me childish, but I love the picture book. Or if I have to choose, I love Novel about wizardry, space travel, and other utopian and dystopian worlds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have done is buy a drone without knowing how to use it. I mean, the drone is one hell of an expensive gadget. Failing to be able to use it might cause a serious hit in my finance. Regardless, I buy it anyway, and I learn to fly it on my own with courage. I feel pleased with what I can do with my drone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fly a drone, but I might not trust you to fly my drone too far (unless you are a certified drone photographer, and with that, you might not need to be taught). I also love photography, and we might share each other knowledge in taking fantastic pictures.

Friendship is also about having fun and willingness to share things, especially technical ones. I can teach you some Data Analytics, Advance CRM, and basic SQL. We can grow and improve together to fund our trips.
