CURRENT MISSION
I finally left my 9-5 and I'm now on a mission to explore as much of the world as I can.

I have always been a traveller, but it's mostly local mountains and islands in the Philippines. In March 2025, I had my first international trip and boy... I know I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN.

It was a booked tour. Although it was great overall, it lacked the cultural connection I'm looking for. We were too busy hopping from one place to another to actually have time to appreciate the culture. Also, it was expensive.

I'm here to look for hosts who can help with some culture exchange too. Sometimes I'll be alone, sometimes with my niece. I'm excited ☺️☺️☺️

I hope people can host me even if I'm not yet verified. Still hustling to pay the fee 🤣

PHILOSOPHY

Make love, make money, make a difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be more of a surfer than a host, but as soon as I get settled on my new location, I'll be hosting as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. Zero. Nada. I've always rented rooms (which is very costly).

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into books, but not the best-seller ones. I love books that talk about life and how cruel it can be. I also love music and I appreciate any kind. I am more into jazz recently though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Mt. Pulag is one of the most memorable trip for me. It's simply breathtaking.

Oh and I got tattooed by Whang Od ☺️

Teach, Learn, Share

If you cannot find a host in Caramoan Islands in the Philippines, look online for Ramil Cruel or send me a message so I can give you his contact details. His last name is the exact opposite of his character. He is a boatman/tour guide/cook/drinking buddy. He will let you rent a spare room in his house for a price that is cheaper than a bucket of local beer per night. Google him, he's becoming famous.

- Just been to Samal Island and met this wonderful "habal" driver/ tour guide, Kuya Dodo Radana. PM me for his contact details. He's such a wonderful person. I will not forget how he persuaded me to jump into a waterfall while assuring me that he'll catch me even if he gets wet (he didn't have any spare clothes). I didn't do it because I was too afraid, but I appreciate his offer. He did it because he wanted me to experience how fun it was.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural and language exchange. I also worked primarily with the US Market for 15 years so if you ever need help in learning English, I can teach you (even after my stay).

You can also count me as your default travel buddy in case you want to visit the Philippines.
