"I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul."
"Carpe diem!"

I am Janet, from the Pearl of the Orient Seas, the Philippines. I am recently in Cambodia for an ESL job after a two-year volunteer work in Tanzania, East Africa.

Volunteering introduced me to the world outside my comfort zone and offered me valuable life experiences. I got a chance to meet new friends, learn new culture and been to places I never thought I'd be able to see.

It only needed one chance to visit a place to recognize and embrace the wanderlust in me. I'd love to go and see more places and make wonderful and meaningful memories with people I'd be privileged to meet along the way, as well as do activities and learn new wonders every time.

I am keen to continue what I have started and see where else my hunger and thirst for the interesting world would take me. Care to join me discover and explore, you're most welcome!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am here to have a life...lol...I realized, I needed one! And the best way to do that is CS. My first time so I wish, you'd help me guys and welcome me into your world..

I wish to find kindhearted, warm, accommodating and fun people in every place I'd get a chance to visit (if it isn't too much to ask). And if chance and availability permit, be offered a couch to stay, a company and a guide around unfamiliar territory, a travel buddy sometimes...

And also get an opportunity to extend help to anyone who would need one. It may not be a couch to share yet, but I can be your best guide and fun buddy.

音乐、电影和书籍

The Notebook, The Book Thief, Letters to Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, Dead Poet Society, Dreams Do Come True, etc. (That's the hopeless romantic me showing. I love classic and feel good ones too)
Nikita, Suits, Criminal Minds, Bones, Big Bang Theory, The Blacklist, Game of Thrones, Hunted, Missing, The Newsroom, The West Wing, Covert Affairs, Burn Notice (television shows) I love action and anything with streak of justice and law shows, especially those that showcased women power hehehe. I find it cool and alluring to be put into a man's world and be great in it.

I'll let you in a big secret. The scariest movie I first watched was "Chucky." I didn't realize it was funny till my students learned about it and laughed. But seriously, that was the scariest really! I am scared of men being torn from limb to limb defenseless. That isn't just fair, ruthless!
,
Music (depends on my mood, I enjoy any music that relaxes and soothes me. I can go from blues, country, R & B, reggae, jazz, bosanova to raw upbeat and hard rock). I am a bit of extreme, huh, and a little of this and that. In short, can be complicated..haha.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Volunteer in Africa, venturing into new places and of course my teaching

教，学，和分享

Teach English to the less privileged. I'd love to do some short-term teaching volunteer work during my travels.

Learn new culture, new language, bike or drive a car, play guitar or any musical instrument, dive; martial arts or boxing lessons or any self-defense exercises. and Or just anything worth trying and learning. It would be fun to just plunge too..would try spontaneity for a change..

Share compassion, teaching skills and my sweet caring self...how's that?

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My reliable, fun self...lol. I can't share a couch yet because am just renting a small place, but will soon but if you need a trusted friend in a new place, I am what you're looking for, then. I'd be glad to offer a hand. Hit me up!
