About Me

A native of the Philippines, staying in Saigon, Vietnam. I am staying in Vietnam for 11 years now and still counting...

Moving here in Vietnam is a major life decision.

I have this clamor to explore and see the world in front of me. All the beautiful extremes that it can offer.

I'm into meeting new people coming from different backgrounds. Reconnect with old friends; sharing experiences. I'm a "people-person" and easy to be with.

Respecting differences, embracing diversity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Excited to witness and experience a slice of life of people that I meet .

"Do what like Romans do."

To expand my network. We live under one sky.

Credits to Confucius: "Do unto others, as what others do unto you". It is all about paying it forward..

Interests

Anything visual. Culture. New places. New people. Something exotic. Something weird. Taking flights.
