CURRENT MISSION

To find adventure even in the little things in life

ABOUT ME

I was born in Manila, Philippines but raised in Edmonton, AB. I'm a cultural nomad so I love talking to people from various backgrounds and experiencing new cultures and visiting new places. My past full-time job involved meeting newcomers to Canada and letting them know about available resources so I meet people from different countries all the time.

I also love music and the arts - concerts, museums, etc. I also love trying new food and restos and very good at suggesting where to eat in the city.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be honest, none with people I didn't know. I've been a "couchsurf guest" with a couple of friends, one who was studying in Belgium and another one who lives in Vancouver. I've also been a "couchsurf host" a couple of times..once when a friend was locked out of his house and another time when an acquaintance-now-friend left her purse (with housekeys) at a restaurant. :)

The official CS sounds like a great way to save money and meet new people and I'm more than happy to let people know how secretly cool Edmonton is.
