Keeps life simple. Loves to laugh and ellicit laughter.

Fond of city life but also loves being close to nature. Would never say no to good food, music, art, and outdoor adventures.

Born and have been living in the Philippines for four decades. I know Manila by heart, its history including secret places for food and entertainment. I could also help plan local travel for the best beaches, dive sites, and mountains I've been to.

---------------------

I stay right in the heart of Metro Manila. Travel to surrounding cities like San Juan, Pasig, Makati, and Taguig from my home is easy.

My place is accessible by public transport all day and night. It is close to everything needed by civilized folk. Within a 5 minute walk are 24 x 7 convenience stores, food stalls, good Filipino restaurants, spas, banks, hospital, pharmacy, and local police station.

Distance between airport and the area where I live is around 10-14 Kms.. Routes and other details are posted in photos of my home including places of interest like Intramuros, Poblacion, BGC, MOA, and Chinatown.

Before you request to couch, please make sure your profile is complete, verified, and has references.

Also, use of cutesy-flirty words like "my dear" "kisses" will never work. Kindly state the reasons why you want to stay with me and what I could learn from you.

As my guest, make life easy for me being your host by observing simple house rules: [1] Don't make a mess, it is a modest place but not a filthy backpacker's hostel. [2] Get up early and be out by 8:30 AM to explore the city.

Please note that I will decline all types of requests from members who have dubious CS names.✌️

Ciao! 😊
