CURRENT MISSION

To embark on a Christopher McCandless journey ninja style

ABOUT ME

Hmm where do I start? I am everything and nothing at the same time. I stand on the extreme and contradictory poles of things. I love books, psycho thrillers, politics, philosophy, art, literature, and music. I hate reality. I love to question the limits of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we are responsible for how our life turns out to be. Although I do not negate the existence of a higher power, there is a fair share of things that we are able to control. So the only person truly responsible for our own happiness and misery is ourselves. Freedom might sound like a very ambiguous term and quite paradoxical, but if we look beyond the limits institutions, religions, and government has imposed upon us then we can see that there are countless possibilities of the things that we can do. It has always been my fascination as to how we can live and thrive without the presence of economy and borders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's my first time to get into this sort of thing being just bitten by the travelling bug. I'm typically shy and awkward at first especially when surrounded with people but I always love meeting new people and having them as travel buddies because I can't find a lot of people who have the wanderlust kicking in their veins among my peers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't tried yet but I'm very excited to get a headstart on this soon. But I once crashed an acquaintance's communal house back in my rebel days but I doubt if that counts. I think the first one I would like to experience is to get a traveling buddy as we take a road trip around Cebu.
