Overview
About Me
I play sports, read, write, listen to quite a lot of music. I'm also on my nth attempt to master the Spanish language.
Unfortunately, I cannot host in Cebu city for now. I can show you around Cebu city and Lapu-lapu city though.
I spend a decent amount of time in Siargao Island, Philippines, where I can host (and where we can surf haha). So for those who are planning to go there, hit me up and if our schedules coincide, I might be able to set you up.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to couchsurf my way around the world, starting this year and I figure this will be a good way to "pay it forward". I also like to make new friends and meet interesting people.
Interests
Sports, books, travel, current events, geopolitics and business news, animals (love both dogs and cats by the way), travel, rum and coke, beer, tea and coffee (black)

Music, Movies, and Books
I have eclectic tastes in music, lean towards rock and grunge alternative but currently listening to classical music.
My favorite movie (for now) is John Wick. Nothing heavy.
I'm currently reading Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina".
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went night-time surfing in an area with expert-level waves (reef break, hosted surfing championships). That was my first time and my surf board had no leash.
I didn't catch a single wave, but the amazing thing is despite being virtually blind in the near-total darkness and tossed around by huge waves while being surrounded by sharp coral reef, I didn't die either.
So, good times!
