About Me

Me? Haha, well, I’d say my life motto is “Do my best, so I can’t blame myself for anything later” — that way, even when things go sideways, at least I know I gave it my all! I’m a pretty easygoing, simple person who tries to make the most out of every day. Most of the time, I’m more of an introvert (the “quiet observer at the corner” type), but once I warm up, I can be surprisingly outgoing — like a social ninja who appears when least expected! 😄

I’ve been working as a bartender here in Malta for almost four years now, originally from the Philippines — so if you ever need good vibes and a good drink, I’ve got you covered! 🍹

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve been traveling since I was 20, and lately I’ve been all over Europe — meeting tons of fellow travelers along the way. Everyone kept talking about couchsurfing, and honestly, I had no clue what it was at first. I just kept nodding like, “Oh yeah, totally… couches… surfing… sounds fun?” 😅 Eventually curiosity won, so here I am — downloaded the app and joined the adventure!

But really, the main reason I’m here is because I’m endlessly fascinated by what the world has to offer. I believe the best way to truly understand life is by traveling to different places, meeting people from all walks of life, sharing stories, learning about cultures and traditions — and hopefully helping and connecting with those who share the same passion for exploring this crazy, beautiful planet. 🌍✨

Interests

I’d like to say, “We sometimes encounter people — even perfect strangers — who instantly catch our interest, all at once, before a single word is spoken.” I really believe that there’s always so much more to learn, and the best lessons often come from the people we meet along the way.

I love talking to people from different cultures and backgrounds — every conversation feels like a new page in the big book of life. In short, I just want to keep learning more about this beautiful, unpredictable thing we call LIFE. 🌍✨

Music, Movies, and Books

Im R-and-B songs lover, also accoustic songs catches my attention, and sometimes pop musics makes me comfy too, i mean i like all type of musics but in different modes hahah
Not into books, but movies as well is one of my outlets to chill.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, TRAVELLING hahaha

What I Can Share with Hosts

What can I offer? Well, aside from my friendly personality and stories from all the nice places I’ve been, I bring good vibes and great conversation! I can even double as your English teacher over a cup of coffee — multitasking at its finest ☕😄

And since we’re in Europe, I’ll treat you to some delicious Asian dishes that might just steal your heart (and possibly your appetite forever). 🍜❤️
Oh, and of course, my humble little place is always ready to welcome you — nothing fancy, but full of warmth, laughter, and good company!
