Hello! Nice to meet you. I'm originally from Borongan City, Eastern Samar, Philippines and currently located in Manila for work.

My current quest is to explore, photograph and share about our hometown. Check out my work on Instagram: @rjlorico

Please note: I can only host whenever I am home in Borongan. I do not have extra space to share in Manila but can meet up and tour you around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people from different walks of life, from different parts of the world.

To date, I've only surfed once but the experience was phenomenal. I met so many passionate and friendly people (whom I continue to meet) who are all up to bridge the gaps between cultures, personalities and labels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was able to photograph previously undiscovered or unheard of spots in our hometown hence fueling my passion to explore more of its hidden natural wonders.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can have conversations about anything under the sun and accomplish those three in the process. I've always believed that one can learn at least one thing from every person he or she meets.
