Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think it's the perfect platform to meet new people all over the world, one couch at a time.

Interests

I'm adventurous and spontaneous. I love to try out everything and anything. Ironically, I'm also a clean-freak and the super organized type of friend who puts everything and everyone in order. Talk to me about languages, translation, etc and I’m all ears.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, the most adventurous thing I've done so far is venture in Europe, moving out of the country I call home, learning a new language, pursuing my masters, having new adventures and countless life lessons, and making new friends to call family along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a linguaphile, I would be happy to share with you the languages I know (Filipino [native], English [native], French [C2], Italian [A2], Portuguese [A1]) and in return, I would love to learn your own mother tongue language. It would be perfect if I could practice and hone my Italian and Portuguese with fellow speakers. It would even be more perfect if I could learn a new language!

I’m the king of breakfast and brunch. The true champion of mimosas. I can make hearty continental breakfast for sure!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you my company, friendship, and even my place. I'd love to be able to call you my friend :)
