I tell stories for a living. I like meeting people and hearing their stories. I aim to travel all 81 provinces in the Philippine islands before I'm 30. I'm in the 60s so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because I believe that travelling should be inexpensive and that meeting new people and exploring new places should not be contained in touristic hop on hop off buses or fancy hotels

Interests

I like exploring new places and trying out new things mostly because I get bored at monotony of life. I like meeting new people and learning about new things. I'm a sucker for culture and anthropology. I also like talking about politics from time to time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot and listen to music a lot. There's no particular favorite but in general, I like acoustic music. I play the guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I almost drowned in an ice pool in the Artic circle. I almost drowned while doing some whitewater rafting in the rapids of Philippines. I almost fell off a cliff while hiking in the alps of Switzerland.

I am a clumsy person who is still alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I conduct training for regional journalists all over the Philippines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking Filipino food, stories about the Philippines (and our President, for that matter), music, English practice (oral and written)

I never run out of stories to share.
