Overview
About Me
Roaming Spartan 🏃♂️ | Aspiring Digital Nomad 🛫
Transitioning from Spartan travels to a nomadic lifestyle. Seeking companions for epic trail runs and gym sessions as I train for ultra-running. Let's chase those endorphins!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Everyone's first impression to me is intimidating and quite. But in reality, I like to listen and observe. I like to socialize to practice my English and hopefully learn a language from a native speaker. I love learning from people's experiences, culture, etc.
Interests
I started my competitive OCR (obstacle course racing) career in 2022. But in 2023, I decided to hire a playing coach so I can improve my running as well. It has been my goal to race in every foreign country I will visit—I call in racecation. And hopefully, complete the countries where Spartan Race is held. So far, I've done Spartan Race in 🇵🇭🇲🇾🇻🇳🇹🇼🇹🇭🇯🇵🇮🇹
With only Monday as my rest day, training could be really mentally and physically stressful. That's why, I still make a way to try new things, specially outdoor activities. I am almost never settled at home. 😆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went to Europe for the first time and only used Couchsurfing
Teach, Learn, Share
