Hey! My name is Jasmine but people call me Mina! :) I was born and raised in the Philippines and has been here in USA since 2010. I cook for a living so thats one skill trade i'll always have :) I've been planning to travel across this country for so long and i think I'm getting close with all the planning and stuff! I'm very simple, life is short; I do what i want and make the most of it hoping to meet great souls along the way.. I don't do no harm to no one, I treat everyone with utmost respect and I never forget to smile. :)

For the people we'll be meeting along the way check our page out

I love cooking and i make really happy food so hopefully id get to make something for all of you out there! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I would want to be able to meet people and get to know more of every cities We would wanna go visit. I personally think couchsurfing makes traveling better and more exciting! The members here has one really good factor i noticed, we all wanna travel., and we want traveling to be doable, affordable, more exciting and fun! The skill trades that are in exchange here is so good for anyone who's trying to make the most of their lives the people they meet change their perspectives at some point i would say.

I met a couchsurfer once at my friends house in Hawaii., she was from peru very nice kid just wanna have fun travel and what not! She taught me how to make bracelets! You know those urban wooden ones., i mean its not much to learn but imagine every single person you'll meet has something for you they always do! And when you combine all of it into your system you suddenly become a well rounded person, well learnt and well informed. Theres just things you'll never learn from school and will only learn from people you'll come across with and that's why i joined couchsurfing i wanna meet them people! :)
