Hey everyone! Im a Filipina Transgender woman exploring the world. I'm also currently building and reaching my goals in life. Im a very optimistic person and always see the bright side in every situation. Im a slow traveler which means I try to experience something more local and try to visit one city at a time without rushing things. For me life has full of adventure and surprises which I want to experience with exciting and kind people around me. I also make sure I'm always having fun 😊

My instagram is @riariveraa
I usually post some part of my life there so I guess you can know me a little bit through the photos or stories I post

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people and have a good communication by sharing experiences and thoughts with each other. I try to have a different way of traveling that's why I like to meet someone local or familiar with the city. Someone who can show me the other side of the city. Im also here to show what my home city can offer.

It might sound weird but meeting strangers can be very exciting specially when they have stories to tell, that's why I'm here to turn more strangers into friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been working as a stylist for years so I guess I can give advice and tips with personal styling.

Im very interested to learn more about food. I like the idea of knowing how it is prepared and how to eat it or the story behind dishes. I also like to share about the food in my home country. Maybe try to cook and teach it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im not really the best when it comes to cooking but i'll be happy to make something for my host if I can. I can also teach my native language and the culture that we practice.

AND OF COURSE, IM HAPPY TO SHARE MY ADVENTURES AND LISTEN TO ADVENTURES OF OTHERS :)
