Excited about world travel, creative projects, wildlife and ecologies, beekeeping, mushroom cultivation. I enjoy outdoor activities: climbing, swimming, exploring, sailing. I enjoy reading books, both fiction and non-fiction (history, geography, biology). There's a lot of beauty and intelligence in stories.

I grew up in the Philippines and moved to the UK on my own in my 20s. In my 30s I started travelling, and have since been living on the road. I like to be in places several months at a time, watch some seasons come and go, and get a deeper feel for how places and people build their communities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in learning about human stories, journeys, and dreams; seeing the different ways that people live and enjoy their lives. Cultural exchange in less contrived ways, I guess.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the western region of the Great Himalayan Trail. ✨ I'd like to be a highliner!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m handy in the garden and inside the home - I like gardening, small-scale farming, cooking, making preserves. I used to teach English to foreign-exchange students.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs, easygoing companionship, a ‘singing bowl’ sound therapy, stories...
