Boricua aunque naciera en la Luna. IG: @abdiporta

Summer 2017 started my first summer backpacking. The experience has changed me, like many of us, and would love to continue exploring the world when I can. I am a Theatrical Tailor, Draper, Costume Designer, Educator and Yogui.

Blessed to have met great couchsurfers through the Hangouts section and through surfing as well.

I love to chat and share my experiences and intersectionalities.

Very into Yoga, Meditation, conscious eating and dancing!

Ask away!

¡Saludos! Acá puertorriqueño. El verano del 2017 comencé my primer tour viajando por Europa. Hice dos veranos en mochila y ahora como muchos la experiencia ha marcado mi vida. Soy artista educador y me encantaría seguir dedicando tiempo a continuar explorando el mundo. He conocido a seres increíbles no solo a través de anfitriones, sino también por la sección de Hangouts.

Amo hablar y compartir mis experiencias e interseccionalidades.
¡No dudes en contactarme!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely and genuinely love to meet fellow beings. I am fascinated by who we are and how we enjoy the now. Let's share and grow together.

I want to die full of experiences and love around the world.

Amo genuinamente conocer a seres de vida. Estoy fascinado con quién somos y cómo disfrutamos del ahora.
A enriquecer y compartir juntos.

Quiero irme de este cuerpo lleno de experiencias a través del mundo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Had a transformative experience at the peak of Pilot Rock in Oregon, USA
-Saw the Aurora Borealis in Reykjahlíð, Iceland and it was just incredible
-Survived a winter storm in Iceland.
-Had an amazing time with a group a strangers in Ireland from Dublin to Galway and back. Made an amazing friend.
-Met a beautiful soul on the line to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, Holland who I visited in her city Toronto, Canada.
-Watched a local AfroCuban performance in Havana, Cuba.
-Did the local 10hour + trip to Santiago de Cuba from Havana in a jam packed converted to bus truck with a cock as passenger.
-Visited all 3 Bioluminescent bays in my island of Puerto Rico
- Found a family in my Tunisian friend’s home while visiting Tunis who I met in Hangouts in Barcelona. He came to visit me in Puerto Rico and we adventured Cuba together.
-Did Berlin Pride by accident. Unforgettable trip. 3 days turned to 11.
-Pandemia somehow brought me to San Francisco, and 1 day visit turned to 7 and then my home.
-Slept on a firefighter station in Quiché, Guatemala.
-Got matching tattoos with fellow Couchsurfers in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala.
-Fell intensely in love with a stranger - pure, genuine, high energy, full of laughter, love. Learned so much about self and the power of love. Sometimes without looking, life presents you mirrors to literally float and enjoy the moment to the fullest; regardless of longevity. Grateful.
