I'm a type of person who's in to new things. I want to experience a laid back form of lifestyle when visiting new places. Simple yet a very rich experience.

I want to uncover traditions, cultures and ethymology of a certain place or area.

I like to travel and hit the busy road along with new friends and meet new people in all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and hang out with them. Learn their own stories and share mine as well.

I usually travel for work but getting that local experience with local people would be the best part of your journey.

People are genuinely helpful and I have experienced it myself. You don’t need to spend more in order to enjoy an escapade. Be simple and enjoy life the way as it is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I did in the past was, when we went to a remote area and had the chance to teach children on how to speak and write the English language. Being a volunteer is such a fulfilling aspect of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak English and be well versed with it. I got my TEFL Certification and had the chance to teach Level 2, Advanced 1 & 2 students.

I can also share some words and phrases from different langauges that I know of.

If I am either in the US or in the Philippines, I will definitely accommodate you in my humble abode.

As a bit of a globetrotter, learning Spanish would be of great help especially travelling in Latin America. If you are a patient type of person and interested with language exchange, I am definitely on the go!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything that is within my scope. Consider it your second home. Just be kind, neat and clean.
