About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Continue to meet new people and experience the wonderful things travel has to offer!
ABOUT ME
There is so many things to say but to keep it short and sweet I can describe myself as being very easy to get along with, enthusiastic about having fun and good conversation.
My folks are from The Philippines and I was born and raised in sunny Australia! Us Aussies are laid back and are always up for a great time.
I'm the type of person who likes to invest in every person I meet, as for me meeting new people gains only positive things. I'm no stranger to going out and partying like there is no tomorrow and I'm always up for having a chat for hours on end sharing stories and laughs.
PHILOSOPHY
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Everyone I have met through couch surfing have been fantastic! My knowledge of different languages, customs and cultures has improved so much joining this community. Such great people who have that special travel spirit. It's great to make friends with people from all over the world!
Interests
Too many but the ones that have big meaning to my life would be the following.
Food
I just love everything about creating and trying different kinds of food. I am willing to try everything at least once and there is just something so wonderful about trying a dish that you have been waiting your whole life for. I'm so excited to experience and learn about new dishes and the stories behind each one.
Hiking
Though at times your feet,back and mind will be tired after 20 plus km's there is such a great feeling getting back to nature and seeing animals in their natural habitat. I hope to hike some of the worlds best trails in the near future.
Photography
I've been taking photos for almost a decade now and I love how whenever I am doing a photo shoot I learn something I never knew about photography. You know they say not to collect things but instead collect memories and experiences. Photography does exactly that for me by bringing back those fond memories of people I've met, places I've seen and the great emotions a photograph can bring. There is too much beauty in this world and I am inspired to photograph as much as I can.
Travel
I think travel is just one of those things in life that everyone can relate to. The late nights you are up studying about a place you want to visit, the big happy yet slightly sad send off with friends and family. Then that incredible feeling of waking up on fly out day to begin your new adventure. Best of all meeting wonderful people of all kinds :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Too many to count but I recently experienced an amazing 1.5 year journey working in The UK and backpacking through Europe. I was very fortunate enough to do things like attend Oktoberfest, witness some incredible nature in Slovenia and even randomly a traditional camel caravan in The Sahara in Morocco.
