About Me

I am an independent single woman with tons of interests. I don't smoke and I drink moderately, occasionally. Fun loving, adventurous but introverted. Actively looking for Spanish speaking surfers to help me learn Spanish. I used to host guests when I still lived in the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio. Right now, not offering hosting since I share apartment with other people. Hence, I am no longer verified.

PS. Let's hang out if you stay somewhere in San Juan, Quezon City or Mandaluyong, Metro Manila. Taguig and Makati are famous spots for foreigners but I live quite far from there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet local people from the places I will go to, learn about their culture, try their food and seek advice about the best places to see.

I am strongly looking forward to building a good relationship with hosts and surfers even after their/my stay, creating new friends and growing my circle.

Interests

I like traveling a lot. I'm into photography when I head out. I love learning new things, exploring new ideas, cultural backgrounds, food and language.
