About Me

I can host now but the only place I can offer at this very moment is an open space on my 3rd hostel and it's on the floor with small mattress as I am remodelling the house or if you have a hammock or tent you will be able to use it ...

I am not a local 😜 I am from the Philippines

RECENT UPDATE

(PLEASE DON'T JUST COME FOR A FREE STAY AT LEAST TALK TO ME OR EVEN SHARE A LITTLE OF YOUR TRAVEL OR WHATEVER NO MATTER HOW BUSY I AM I'LL GIVE TIME, IT MAKES ME SAD WHEN PEOPLE JUST COME AND STAY IN THE ROOM WITHOUT EVEN PROPERLY INTRODUCING THEMSELVES IT IS SUPER SAD... I'M SLOWLY LOSING FAITH TO HOSTING PEOPLE BECAUSE SOME JUST DON'T BOTHER TO TALK TO YOU, I KNOW IT'S NOT A COMMITMENT BUT COUCH SURFING IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE. SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN'T EVEN INTRODUCE YOUR NAME PROPERLY OR AT LEAST CONNECT WITH ME DON'T BOTHER TO COME TO BE HONEST, IT ONLY GIVES ME SAD FEELING)

I have hosted more than 1000+ people via Couchsurfing in Vietnam, Philippines & Laos since 2014 but recently I have opened Hostel in Luang Prabang, Laos where I can host all Couchsurfers for Free for 1N only. From 2nd Night Onwards if you like you may pay and stay. Hope you guys understand. ( DON'T JUDGE ME AND THINK THAT I USE THE PLATFORM FOR MONEY) I AM TRYING TO HELP THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY I CAN EVEN IF I RUN A BUSINESS ALREADY.

I recently rent out my house and the reason I won't be able to host people for more than 1 night, it's the best I can offer now. I wish I can host for as long as you guys want to stay but now I have a hostel to run.

I wanted to stop hosting but I love the community and the people and one night is the best I can offer 🥂

Thank you!

CURRENT MISSION

TRAVEL and SPREAD SMILE to the world...
be COOL and have FUN!
this is our TIME enjoy!!!

ABOUT ME ( I am not Lao local )

This is NOT just my STORY its OURs who will make this
adventure...

...they said Places is fast growing and people have less connected and WE always look for the word "BELONG" and "SAFETY".. and this is what my GOAL connect to PEOPLE around the Globe...and feel that you BELONG and your SAFE.

(this part is back in the Philippines disregard)
If you stay with me the only thing you'll do is watch the sunrise and wait for the sunset coz life is a BeacH!!

...one thing we all have in common we TRAVEL, we HELP, and we CARE for the world and humans of our kind...

about me a bit.

Teach, Learn, Share
