I am a working as Regional Sales Manager handling a team of 8 people in a Philippine known publishing of textbooks in Private Schools. I am assigned in Visayas Region with my four wheeled car. That’s my weekly routine for 10 years now every weekdays. I’m a workaholic guy and I will still find a way to tour you around my place despite of busy schedules.

Currently, I am taking up Doctor of Business Administration degree at Ateneo de Davao University.

Every weekends, I usually travelled back to my city hometown in Davao to spend time with my father. My mother passed away 2 years ago and my other siblings are married and lived in Germany and UK. So, if you are traveling to Davao and considered northern mindanao as your destination, you can hitch on my travel going there since I’m going there, too!

I love traveling! For me traveling is not just seeing places, it opens your eyes to appreciate simple things in life. And it is the only you buy that makes you richer. Rich in experience and memories ofcourse!

I don’t have a chance to travel all around the places in the Philippines because on my work, I already traveled a lot. And I want something new. Couchsurfing opens this opportunity for me that even when I haven’t got into specific country, I still encountered them by hosting and exchange our colorful cultures. It’s a big deal for me and I like it very much.

I often go to the gym and used as my past time. I also like food trip, go to cinemas or coffee shops.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Please observe my house rules:

1.) I don’t like smelly. Please take a bath every day or every end of the day. We filipinos are particular with good hygiene and we are sensitive with smelling.

2.) Be comfortable. Feel at home always. I always trust the people I hosted.

3.) I don’t like smokers. Please refer to #1.

4.) I don’t like bossy. You know what that means.

5.) Don’t expect things. Depending on your host they will offer you breakfast, but if your host doesn’t eat breakfast,
he/she probably won’t go and buy something just for you.

6.) Ask before you use my stuff. Just because somebody tells you to feel at home, don’t just use things. Ask first.

7.) Keep it clean. You are a guest, leave things the way they are.

8.) Don’t suddenly change plans. Don’t ask to stay for one night when you contact me and suddenly when you arrive and tell me it will be two nights. As soon as your plans change tell them and ask if it’s ok for me.

9.) Pay back your debts. When people BORROW some money, for example for the ticket machine or when you are out and there is no atm around, and they don’t pay it back at the end of their stay.

10.) Don’t make me your Babysitter. I’m not obliged to show you around, maybe I’m busy. I don’t have to bring you to the train station and I don’t have
to pick you up. I also don’t have to wait for your ride to arrive, because you forgot to plan properly.
