Hello! 🤗 My name is Pauline - a Filipina ♐️ 🇵🇭 from Chicago. Find me on Instagram @pauly_dee 📷 Grateful for this site and for the beautiful people on here who open their homes so others can continue to feel safe and free to explore. Next year my goal is to also become a host! My mission as a traveler is to help make this world feel more like home wherever I happen to be :) and with whoever I am meant to cross paths. I am determined to find and continue to meet my 'people’ - those who are also soulfully kind (to the core), curious, and appreciative of unique experiences. Meet the goofy, go-lucky me, and you’ll believe you've found an old friend 💛💁🏽‍♀️ The opportunity to travel abroad is an absolute privilege and blessing...not to be wasted at all! I'm drawn to meet those who inspire me to continue to learn new languages, cultures, and lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m visiting Europe for the first time this December, and I’d like to make some amazing friends and memories while I’m there!

Interests

I’ve spent the past year painting abstract work and loving the spontaneity and intuition it invokes in me. Also, my hips cannot lie, I loooove to dance. Going to concerts alone is a spiritual experience 🙌🏾

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up on rock and alternative, studied classical piano, played percussion in my high school marching band, realized I could sing while in college, discovered music festivals only recently. Movies? I keep it light-hearted ‘cause ya girl loves to laugh. Book-wise I’m all about the new social/psych research.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with humongous yet amazingly gentle creatures known as whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines 🐳

Teach, Learn, Share

Let’s sing and jam if you’ve got instruments. Pass the AUX cord and share the songs we’ve been vibing to lately 🎧 Go for a walk or run together, some yoga, then grab a drink/snack after 🍻 Let’s cook food or find some we haven’t yet tried, talk about everything or nothing and laugh over all the weird things about life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, energy, and attention towards any help you may need on a project, around the house, with school, work, etc. I’ll have my camera as well 📸 so if you’ve got any great locations in mind, let’s shoot! I love gifting people with portraits.
