I love to travel and to see new places, try new things, meet new people, see different perspectives. I think travelling is a great way to broaden your horizons and learn more about this vast world that we live in. It's also a good opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and experience things you normally wouldn't.

Lately I travel whenever I can to get away from work and my usual routine. I try to visit at least one or two new countries every year. One of my life goals is to visit at least 50 countries and to set foot on every continent (yes, even Antarctica!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to meet people while I’m traveling abroad but I also go to events in NYC sometimes. Always happy to show people around my hometown!

Interests

I like doing outdoors stuff like hiking or biking. I'm into sports: soccer (football) is my favorite but I'm also into basketball, volleyball, or whatever else. I like playing video games and reading books. I'm also a history nerd so when I travel I like to check out historic sites, museums, etc. Always down to try some new food and beer as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A little bit of everything: rock, hip-hop, EDM, techno, Latin music, etc. I also like classical music and am trying to learn piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding off a mountain in Austria because my CS host happened to be an instructor with his own equipment and he invited me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always down to help people who are learning languages, particularly English, Spanish, and French. If you'd like to learn more about America or New York City, I'd be happy to share my insight and experiences. I've got plenty of funny travel stories to tell and always love hearing stories from other people.

I like meeting different kinds of people because everyone has their own unique perspective and everyone has something new to teach you, in their own way.
