6th generation Irish-San Franciscan & 1st generation Filipina American. Born & raised in SF and very much a reflection of this upbringing: appreciating diversity, weird is my normal, and people are my passion. I come from a tourist city and see the beauty in iconic attractions but its not really my thing. My idea of good travel is living as the locals do.

Yana (pictured on left) and I have been friends for 10 years and as best girls that love but need a break from SF, we decided to hop on a plane in February one way to Cancun, Mexico. From February til April we hope to travel to Cuba, then back to Cancun through Central America & end up in Costa Rica.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We wish to travel authentically by staying with or linking up with others who wish to exchange stories & create memories together! If you have any suggestions for things to do or places to go we would love any tips.

Interests

Travel blogging, music (that I can dance to & that I can sing to), sharing stories, cooking & eating, and being submerged in water as often as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite singer/songwriter is Jhene Aiko and I will read anything by Thich Nhat Hanh. Also a sucker for all books & films related to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and a good fantasy tale or saga.
