Hi! I'm Mary, full name: mary Jzanelle (pronounced Ja-nel; silent "z") 😎

I live in Liloan, Cebu. But my familiy originated in Matutinao, Badian, Cebu, which is one of the places in Cebu that has beautiful white sand beaches and Kawasan Falls! 🌊🌴

That's the main reason why I totally ❤ the beach and nature. I can just chill and relax and get a tan with no worries. And with my family living there I get to have free accomodations. SCORE!

My family owns a small beach front resort and I love it there! Also being close to Kawasan Falls I get to enjoy both the beach and the mountains.

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world. But I want to start here in the Philippines. My dad used to say to me, "Don't be an ingnorant to your own country.", and that's what I'll be doing (prolly next year though).

As a PT I've encountered people who are underprivileged and couldn't afford the treatment for them. I want to help those people by doing volunteer work. Preferrable for free :) .
