About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to enjoy the best years I'll have.

ABOUT ME

I love sports, especially football (soccer). I also love hearing about culture and interesting cultural history of countries. I like cultural experiences (food, traditional dances, festivals, etc). I love to talk.
I am a nerd. I have no shame about that, but I know how to fun.
I love meeting people of any culture or ethnicity.

PHILOSOPHY

When does the fun begin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not hosted anyone and I have not being hosted. I tried to get people to host me, but it has not walked out yet.
If you are worried about couchsurfing with a newbie like me, don't worry. It would be great if someone could host me or I could host someone.
I am currently in college, which makes it difficult to host people. But I am willing to meet up with people if you need someone to hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had the opportunity to host anyone (still in Uni) and despite my best efforts, no one has hosted me yet.
I have been using it though to meet people whenever I find myself alone in a new city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spend an entire year in Europe
First, I studied abroad in Cambridge University, England for an entire school year. I had the opportunity to be eat (albeit crappy) food in a place that had stood long before Christopher Columbus. It was a great place and I was simply overwhelmed by the history and the beauty of the place.

Second, I did a 2.5-month internship in Barcelona, Spain. Ever since I decided to learn Spanish in high school, it was my dream that I would make it over to Spain to try some sangria and paella. And then, I got that chance, and I did. I had the opportunity to visit great places such as Sagrada Familia & Camp Nou, go to Valencia (definitely home of the best foods) & Madrid and meet wonderful and chill people.

In between, I made trips to Germany, Czech Republic (where I had the opportunity to spend Christmas with a friend's family there), France and Italy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fun. Carefree.
