Primarily, I am a currently a PhD Student and an instructor of Mathematics. I hope to meet mathematicians from other places, to exchange stories and ideas, and possibly collaborate on a project.

Moreover, I am a very avid choral singer who sees his craft as a serious hobby. I've sung with a traveling choir for four years, whilst pursuing my graduate studies in mathematics. I have also taught some choirs from the Philippines for several years.

I am also an avid language learner who hopes to become a full-fledged polyglot someday. I was lucky to have been raised in a trilingual environment here in the Philippines, and now I am working to break down more barriers by learning more languages.

Finally, I am an enthusiast of traditional modular origami, that is, building highly symmetric structures out of colorful paper without scissors and glue.

If you don't share any of my interests, that's still ok. We can talk about anything under the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying couchsurfing for the first time, because I want to travel and meet new people, hear exciting stories about them, and learning and trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled all over Europe for three months with a singing group

Teach, Learn, Share

From every place, there's always something new to learn.

If I'm visiting a new country, I am always eager to learn some phrases in their native language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, stimulating conversations, stories, and friendship.

I could teach you mathematics for free, but if that's too boring for you, I could teach you some amazing modular origami models. Finally, we could trade languages (if you're also a language learner like me).

Countries I’ve Visited
