About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have adventures!

****Please take note that this is NOT a DATING/HOOKUP site. I get it happens on this platform from time to time. I don't mind it, but I'd really just like to make friends. Please, let's keep the spirit of this community alive! Be legit yeah.****

ABOUT ME

I've been living away from my home country since 2015. After less than a year working in Manila, I called it quits and needed to see the world. Took an internship for an American social media startup based in Bangkok. Got hired full time and became it's regional strategy manager. I stayed with them for a year and a half. It was AMAZING living in Bangkok. Talk about a melting pot of fun and learning. Made solid friendships with locals and had a big group of international people from all walks of life! Because of that job I was able to visit Malaysia, Vietnam and Laos.

Now I'm with another start up in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Looking for a new adventure and hoping to see Indonesia, Singapore and the rest of SEA before launching myself around the world!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that having an open mind and heart is the best way to approach life. It is so much easier to understand the world through the perspectives of others, getting to know how they think of and see things around them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great outlet to meeting people. Being an expat is hard, making friends and meeting people is harder every time I move to a different country.

Interests

Surfing, Football, Archery, Hip Hop and all sorts of music. You should see me dance, esp after a few beers.

  • surfing
  • soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of music... I grew up listening to the Rat Pack, Rob Stewart and songs of my father's time while being exposed to the ever changing "mainstream" music. So I guess I can say that I can listen to anything. Give me some hip hop, alternative, grunge, metal, jazz, and etc. and I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Same goes with practically everything else in this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked at night in the middle of nowhere while I was in Laos!!
