About Me

*Currently back in PH*

Had a great job back home (Philippines) but decided to become an Au-Pair for two years in Norway. I believe it's the easiest way to travel cheap in Europe for a Filipino citizen. As the Au-Pair program says, it is purely cultural exchange. I am here to understand and learn Norwegian culture then perhaps do interesting and exciting adventures like hiking. I am looking for someone who can show me around or maybe travel together anywhere else in Europe. I haven't tried hosting yet (in the Philippines) since I don't have an extra room every time a member look for hosts but I have met up with two CSurfers so far, one from Japan (he stayed for 5 days which was supposed to be a day only) and the other is British but from Spain (she stayed for a day). I am a budget traveler but an extravagant explorer. I hope to meet new friends, share travel or life stories and share my cooking skills. I'm kinda diverse, I don't limit myself in trying everything. So we maybe can learn from each other. My host family told me I can have friends over so maybe I can host sometimes depending on my hosts' house availability. :) :) :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A new found friend introduced me here after having a small talk about traveling. I then realized that I want to meet travelers, be a host and understand other cultures and vice versa when I do travel.
