Reserved and quiet. Homebody. Not a big fan of sports. That's me on weekdays, but on weekends or when I travel I try to be outgoing, spontaneous, and carefree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling to increase social and cultural awareness.

Interests

Basically I want to solo (didn't happen) travel all 82 provinces (no pressure tho) of the Philippines. I've been to 34 so far, since I started traveling in 2016 on a regular basis. Each time it's farther from my boundaries and comfort zones.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've listened to a lot of genre, but my favourites would be along ballad, folk, indie, R&B, blues, mando-pop, soul, and the occasional mainstream pop. Taiwan's Jay Chou is my favourite musician of all time.

I am a voracious reader! I'm into Gabriel García Márquez, Jose Saramago, Haruki Murakami, Kazuo Ishiguro, Orhan Pamuk, Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Leo Tolstoy, J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, J.D. Salinger, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jack Kerouac, Paulo Coelho, and many more.

I'm into foreign language and indie films. From French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Brazilian, Mid-Eastern, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, and of course Filipino films. Depth and narrative over visuals and box office hits.
