About Me

I medical lab tech who work nights as a virtual assistant, but my schedule is totally flexible. I’m the kind of person who’s up for anything: on one hand, I love exciting stuff like zip-lining, bungee jumping, or going to a rave (I might have a drink but never overdo it). On the other hand, I’m just as happy visiting beautiful red-walled temples, wandering through colorful streets, or watching Disney fireworks. I’m a big foodie—especially for Japanese cooked meals and cheap, tasty Thai street food. I can’t swim, so you’ll always find me in a life jacket near water! When I’m not out exploring, I love watching K/C-dramas, sci-fi shows, and listening to chill music and K-pop. Really, I just love sharing experiences—whether it’s trying new food, seeing new places, or having a good conversation over milk tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to make real, lasting friendships while discovering everyday life. I want to find where locals actually eat lunch or unwind after work (so-so with tourist spots), and hear what matters to them - cool traditions, local stories, even neighborhood politics (all views welcome!). For me, it's these honest conversations that spark genuine friendships - the kind where we'll still swap stories years later and keep this connection going. That's what makes travel truly meaningful to me.

Interests

I love discovering authentic local life: finding unmarked street food stalls where neighbors queue after work, parks packed with locals, and community traditions. Modern and historical design fascinates me—especially glowing citys lights like Chongqing’s neon glow and the bold red walls of Chinese temples. I thrive on balancing high-energy thrills (zip lines, parasailing) with peaceful moments (temple walks, milk tea chats), always curious about local beliefs or folklore. Occasionally on weekends, you’ll find me vibing to EDM at raves (sober but all-in!)—though most nights, I’m just dreaming of dancing at Tomorrowland! For downtime, I explore k-pop and global music, sci-fi, and historical dramas. What I value most: sharing street food and skyline views with fellow travelers. Those simple joys turn meetups into real bonds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach you Filipino-style sweet spaghetti (that sweet-meaty party favorite!) or other Filipino dishes - maybe even cook some for you! In return, I can teach you conversational Tagalog or my provincial language (from Leyte), Waray-Waray - plus some Bisaya. I can also share health insights in everyday terms: how lab tests work or some body facts. For learning, I'm all ears for your local folklore, crafts, or secret spots - and I'd adore picking up phrases in your language! (Especially Mandarin, Japanese, Taiwanese, or Korean - but I'm open to learning any language you'd like to share!) Let's share experiences too: street food hunts, adventure stories, or fun photo moments!
