ABOUT ME

Couchsurfing world, I'm back after a long hiatus!

Dear past/present/future host/surfer, who is reading my profile right now.

I'm a 39 married gay guy who was born in Manila, Philippines but now living in Helsinki, Finland.

I'm a happy-go-lucky type of person with a chameleon type of personality. Definitely a great guy who has a great sense of humor, funny, optimistic, friendly, open-minded, sociable, loves to party every once in a while and very easy to get along with. (Oh yes, every Couchsurfer has to be one!)

To be honest, it's really difficult to write about this part of the profile but I'll leave this part empty for now to make the Couchsurfing encounter more exciting and mysterious.

PHILOSOPHY

"Blowing out another's candle does not make yours any brighter."
"Everything happens for a reason."
"If you're going to do something, do it totally."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from different paths of life, sharing stories, exchanging cultures and just having a good time with a positive vibe is one of the many ways of how I celebrate life. If I can personally achieve this state, I said to myself "Why not share around with others? "

I think of Couchsurfing as another form of school where we learn, share and gain knowledge with others.

Interests

Eating different foods (I eat almost everything, try me), watching movies, playing/watching sports (tennis, badminton, volleyball, table tennis, etc.), playing video games, taking photos/capturing moments (usually landscapes and everyday stuff), surfing the internet, long distance traveling (by land), listening to music, partying/clubbing, going to the beach, staying outdoors with nature, theme parks, recycled furniture, thrift shops, good buys, etc.
