CURRENT MISSION

Shift my priority from being a workaholic to having more fun in life

ABOUT ME

I tend to over-analyze my life (decisions, etc) and I am amazed with people who can live on the moment and let things pass without controlling the path to get the result. I just started to enjoy and appreciate doing spontaneous stuff - but still can't do it all the time. :)

I'm open on different ideas. I believe people should have the freedom to believe on what they want to believe and do what they want to do given that they don't hurt anybody.

*Back in Manila (Dec 2017) after living in Toronto and Cincinnati for a few years.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you aim for the sky you fall on the roof. If you aim for the roof you fall on the ground."

"The more you know, the more you know that you don't know."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

"Never let your fear decide your fate."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still a CS Newbie :)

I did my first couchsurfing in Oslo and then Riga and It was a very good experience.

I was able to meet good hosts in Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago that helped me change my perspective of traveling and interacting with locals. I really really liked my hosts (a very nice couple) in Buenos Aires which made me want to participate more in couchsurfing (as a host or surfer). 😀

Interests

My key interests are (1) Philosophy/Politics (2) Tennis. Or anything that is interesting - I'm a bit of an info seeker and enjoy learning new things/topics.

I like traveling and had been to 74 countries to date. My next target is Oceania then go back to Latin America or explore more countries in Africa.
