About Me

I am a solo traveler with a heart ❤️

I am originally from the Philippines, but I am here in Europe for studies. During vacation, I used to book flights and travel with friends or alone. But since now that I choose to travel with myself, I believe it would be a perfect time to meet new friends, learn their cultures, languages, new stories, and be more open-minded about the world.

I used to climb mountains when I was in my country because I enjoy being surrounded by nature. Here in Europe, I am enjoying it a lot due to several choices from cities, to rural greeneries, to museums and historical places. I really love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new friends and talk with them. 🤗😊 It is very simple but exchanging of words with locals is like a book with an endless pages. It provides more and deeper information than what internet could give.

Having solo traveling is fun and I feel independent, but at the end of the day, I feel happy with a buddy to walk around the city and laugh at the smallest things under the sun and streetlights.

I joined couchsurfing because I find it the best platform to gain friends who are concerned about travellers, and understand the struggle of going to a new city. I found it a safe online environment for me, and a platform where I would not be judged to travel alone.

Interests

I like traveling and feeling free. I am interested of new medical innovations, astronomy, and these days I am also indulge into international politics.

In traveling, I am interested to try pastries, beers, coffee, tea, and truly everything. I like to know histories behind something. I like photography, so if you know aesthetic hidden places, I will be very glad to see that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are from Ghibli studios of Japan, and historical romance. I like series such as The Bridgerton, as my favorite one, but I also into Korean dramas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I travelled in another country alone last 2022. It was the time when COVID-19 was still a big deal in my country. We used to have quarantine, health-related measures, and strict requirements, but when I go to Europe, everything was very different. I was amazed of how other countries handled such pandemic when compared to mine, and I had new learnings about it.

From then, I learned to book for myself, travel from one city to another, and been in my dream country (Switzerland). Now, I have many favourite places I didn't know before.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Now, I am living in a building of international students in Greece, but in the next few months when I move to another country, I will see if I could host.

To the potential host of mine, who will trust me, and willing to understand my situation, I will try my best to be a good company, photographer, storyteller, and most importantly, a friend from the different side of this world.
