I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and learning about their cultures, cuisines and languages. It’s always exciting to discover the unique stories behind each place and person 😊 My current goal is to visit all 81 provinces of the Philippines and I’m already 51 provinces in! It’s been an incredible journey discovering the diverse beauty, culture and stories each place has to offer. #Project81 Connect with me insta: @clarizamargaret

Music, Movies, and Books
🎶 Music I Love I’m into a mix of genres EDM (especially Tropical House and Trance), KPOP, POP, PPOP, and RnB. Whether it's dancing to a beat or vibing to smooth vocals, music is a big part of my everyday life. 📚 Books I’m an avid reader and love discovering new stories and perspectives. You can check out my reading list and reviews on Goodreads! 🎬 Movie Preferences I enjoy lighthearted and feel-good films like comedies and chick flicks, but I’m also into action-packed movies, insightful documentaries, and romantic comedies that tug at the heartstrings.
Teach, Learn, Share
❤️ I’d love to share what I know and learn from others too. I can teach you Tagalog (Filipino language) or Ilocano (dialect), one of the many beautiful dialects spoken in the Philippines. I’m happy to talk about Filipino culture and customs, and share stories from my travels. I also enjoy giving travel tips especially for exploring the Philippines and Asia!
What I Can Share With Hosts
I’m happy to share my time, travel stories and friendly tips for exploring new places. I also love sharing anything about my home country the Philippines from culture and customs to fun facts and local favorites 😊
