Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and my dream is to travel the world one country at a time. I am torn between making a living for my family and paying the bills, at the same time just be-carefree and enjoy life as it is.

I am on couch surfing because I want to meet new people in new places that I go to. I want to experience a new place in a perspective of a local. It would be nice to experience being with total strangers but become close comrades by the end of the trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am used to planning a trip and follow the itinerary. However, one time, I met people along the trip that wanted to segue to a place where the oldest tattoo artist lived (they were tattoo enthusiasts). I hesitated but in the long run, I came with them.

That was the most difficult trek that I have ever experienced but the most worth it of all. I did not only get to know myself better on that trip, but I was also able to get to know Apo Whang-Od, the legendary tattoo artist "mambababtok" of the Philippines.
