About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Eat the World's best fried chicken.

What can I say? I kind of love to travel. It's the type of air I breathe. But I don't like to travel just to check off a bucket list. I like to get to know places too, meet its people, and fall in love. I want to be able to visit a new place so that I can keep revisiting it.

Born in the Philippines but grew up on the West Coast. Been living in Oregon ca. 2004.

I used to travel all over the U.S. for work but now I'm trying to establish a career in the IT industry.

Can't stop, won't stop learning. My goal is to become 1% better each day. One thing I particularly love learning are languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from around the world! Anyone who wants to hang out or see sights around the Portland Metro Area can hit me up!
