Hi!

I'm Denise

I was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 3 years old. I grew up just an hour from the Canadian Rockies in beautiful Calgary, Alberta and somewhere between the tropical beaches and snowy mountain tops, I found a love for adventure.

Much of my life for the past few years have been spent travelling while also finishing my degree in Communication and Media studies. From a summer in South Africa, to a year studying and couchsurfing the USA, backpacking South America and volunteering for the Rio Olympics, interning in Austria and living/working as a digital nomad in Europe, and finally living in Argentina for a year after graduating, I’m now living in Toronto. Travel also lead me to my love of capturing beautiful moments and I’m now working as a Video and Design Specialist for a travel bcorp. I am hopping around a lot this year to capture some beautiful countries!

Last adventure: Living in Buenos Aires for a year
Current adventure: Working remotely out of the Philippines

I think too many of us wait around for a purpose to live, when it is simply in living that we find purpose

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because it's the best way to meet locals while travelling. And meeting locals is the best way to get to know a city
