CURRENT MISSION

Hello stranger, quit being a stranger.

ABOUT ME

Devours old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows

Lives for the crossroads

Lives in the abstract

PHILOSOPHY

Cross a road, take a train, or get on an airplane and put your life in the hands of a stranger- every bit as screwed up, every bit as fallible and as human as you are. then the person turns out not to be a stranger at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

1. free shelter

2. a "FREE" basket is available for guests and surfers to take free stuff/things from it if wanted/needed.
surfers could donate unwanted things or if they wish to share something to next guests..taking and leaving one in exchange :)e.g. books, maps, raincoat, textile bags, cd's, mixed tapes...

3. language exchange- i could teach several filipino languages and dialects like tagalog, hiligaynon and niromblon.

4. share ideas on how to be street smart in manila and the philippines

5. exchange of thoughts and ideas.

6. be productive and creative! a collaboration should be awesome!

7. HAVE FUN!

And I am a fun and responsible surfer as well!

Remember: The best things in life are wild and free ;)
