CURRENT MISSION

To promote world peace without being Ms. Universe

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, I love traveling, I love trying new (and odd) stuff, I love my family, I love my friends, I love my dogs.

You can know more about me (through my writing) by googling me ("Jerick Aguilar") and reading some of the articles in my bi-weekly column in The Philippine Star.

PHILOSOPHY

We only live once so we'd better do what we want by listening to our heart and doing the things that make us happy (without intentionally hurting anyone, of course).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to have as much travel experience as possible and then share it to the people I meet - let them know that, at the end of the day, we are all different but the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling since I was 19 and had a slight idea about this a couple of years ago, but wasn't interested until I saw a TV feature on it (an hour ago, actually - it's 10.45 am, GMT+2, 3 April 2009).

Interests

Maybe it is the optimist in me but I (try to) see beauty in everything - in people, places, and experiences. There is so much to learn in life that cannot be possibly learned in a lifetime, so I make the most of my time by seeking and taking advantage of every opportunity that life has to offer.
