But you can send me a message if you want to know more about Sagada.

Sweet stuff, beer, hard liquor, and occasionally, spicy food. I can listen to your stories and if the universe permits, share some practical advice and side stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend way back in 2012 told me about it. It's nice to know the stories of other people, exchange trust with a stranger, and believe in the inherent love and goodness residing in everyone's hearts.

I'm trying to know more about this "hospitality exchange" culture, and if you're into these sort of stuff, we can write an article or more during your visit. A caveat though, I'm currently on fieldwork for some research, so, depending on my schedule, I may or may not be able to host you here in Sagada. :)

Additionally, it's quite hard to host large groups. I don't get to know all your stories, there is lesser interaction between guests and host, and honestly, it's hard to do the laundry and clean the house some times. But hey, I enjoy washing and cleaning stuff. Around 1-2 couchsurfers are fine, and if more than that, I may or may not be able to host you. But there are a lot of inns in the central town. Just enjoy the sites and maybe I could meet you there. :D
