Hi! I'm Krizia. Pleasure to meet you here.

Born and raised in Manila, Philippines.

I'm a bit of a split - I'm both introverted and extroverted. I do well in big gatherings, but I prefer smaller, more intimate groups. I also like my alone time. I enjoy exploring new and unfamiliar places, trying out the local cuisine (even if I'm not a foodie), and love visiting museums or heritage sites. I rarely go to beaches now though. After a few trips and adventures that involved sun exposure (profile photo included) and experiencing all sorts of skin conditions after, I can officially say - and medically supported - that the sun isn't my best friend. Bummer. Not a full-fledged vampire! I go to places with sun, but don't laugh if I'm under an umbrella, or I'd be under a gazebo or any shade in the beach or wherever. Never tried camping, and as much as I like being surrounded by nature, I prefer historical sites and landmarks, and experiences that involve culture.

Oh, I also like animals. I have 3 dogs, and adopted 2 cats during the pandemic.

If you're visiting Manila and in need of company, send me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to educate one's self about the cultures of the world without traveling far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A stopover in a remote area to see a UN Development project for a small town in the middle of a battle ground between the Philippine military and Mindanao rebels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to drive on the busy roads of Manila, commute, and experience how crazy public transportation is here, how to speak some words in our native tongue, and maybe cook a few Filipino dishes.

Oh and I can dance. I'm just going to assume that you want to learn that.

And can you please teach me how to ride a bike? HAHA
