I'm inviting travelers especially those with references to visit ANTIQUE you guys already have a home to stay. I can host you guys!!! But I would like to set the expectation of my guest/guests that I dont have a car, I don't have a fancy house, I'm living really basic but I can provide you decent bed and food during your stay. I work in the farm and will appreciate if my guest/s will be able to help me on simple chores that I do everyday or just walk my dogs (2 Rottweilers, french bully, ambull, enish bulldog and one local dog). I may join and explore with you guys if I have extra time and funds but if I'm not then I'm so sorry but I can give you recommendations. I would gladly appreciate as well if you can share something for your food but it's not compulsory. I will let you borrow my mountain bike but make sure that you take care of it. You can wash your clothes using our simple washing machine or sometimes if Belen is on the mood, she can wash it for you. I want you guys to feel at home during your stay but don't be a freeloader who doesn't know how to say thank you to ur host. If you have food preferences like if your vegan or vegetarian please inform me ahead of time so that I can adjust or it would be better if you can just bring your own food sincw my place antique is far feom the big markets or malls. Everyone is welcome to stay but you need to send me a request not just a private message. If you already have an itinerary pls tell me and if u need an assistance on what to do and how to get to the tourist spots here don't hesitate to tell me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted a celebrity back in her country for Few days in Manila, and I was lucky because Philippines is her first destination and I'm her first host in CS after she left her job in her country. community service and volunteering, traveled iloilo, antique, carlos negros, bacolod, dumaguete, siquijor and batanes for almost 20 days straight days alone! Most recent as of sept 2018, I was hosted for more than 15 days in Malaysia, almost 2 weeks in kl with Filipinos, I love them soooo much and made me decide to go back and visit them again this November 2018. Hehehe! Thank you Vienna, noemi and bj. Overnight in Penang with an Iranian friend who showed me batu ferrenghi, surfed with a Bangladeshi friend in Georgetown. Would love to meet them again!
