Hi I'm John!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can definitely offer anything that I am capable of doing. I can cook, help you with chores, converse, and assist you with other arrangements.

Interests

Sports (tennis, badminton, volleyball), languages, films, and world affairs.

• movies
• sports
• tennis
• geography
• old movies

Music, Movies, and Books

I read mostly fiction and enjoy both contemporary and classic works. I’m especially fond of film adaptations and character-driven stories.

My taste in films is pretty broad. I follow major film festivals and awards each year and enjoy everything from international cinema to quieter, introspective films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve had a few essays published in a national newspaper. 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve worked as an educator and enjoy explaining things clearly and patiently, whether academic topics or everyday life stuff. If you’re interested, I can share a bit about my culture, teach you some Filipino languages (including Chavacano), or cook a simple Filipino dish.

I’m also currently learning French and Spanish, still very much at a beginner level.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m respectful, tidy, and easy to live with. I’m happy to help with chores, cook a meal, or simply share a good conversation at the end of the day. I value mutual respect and clear communication.
