About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to get lost in exploring the world, share culture, create connections, and discover good friends, good food, and good drinks.

I also want to visit as many transit museums as possible. My favorite so far have been the Railway Museum of Madrid and the Museum of Urban Transport Brussels

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Philippines and adopted at 6 1/2 months by my parents in New Jersey, U.S.A. I travel well and enjoy discovering new cultures while creating a social/professional network around the world.

I am a huge fan of the following:
-Ghostbusters
-Baseball
-Comedy in all forms (movies, TV, stand up, improv, and sketch)
-Learning how to cook with flavor profiles local to other countries
-Streaming Media Technology
-Urban Design
-The Beach
-Good Laughs

PHILOSOPHY

Travel young. Eat well. Cheers often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to attend Weekly CS Meetings in cities that I visit and help CSers in NYC/NJ (or even a location that I am visiting) find their way around in safe, affordable, and efficient way. I like to participate in any open mics that I can for comedy in English speaking situations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Created a connection with a CSer to find housing in Barcelona for one week (2010)
Hosted a CSer at a temporary apartment in Barcelona (2010 & 2014)
Helped CSers traveling from Chile and other countries purchase affordable New York Yankees tickets, brought them to the game (Bronx) and shared my favorite local bar in my neighborhood at the time, Murray Hill (2014)
