Hey! I’m a native New Yorker who is outgoing and enjoys meeting new people. I would love to connect and share my experiences with free-spirited and like-minded individuals and hope to make new friends along the way. You never know who or what experience will make a lasting impact on your life.

I am a health research scientist with a background in public health and epidemiology. And I also love history; it was my undergrad degree. I was born and raised in New York City, and I am also of Colombian heritage. I am a native Spanish and English speaker, and my Italian is at a basic level (lo capisco megliore que lo parlo).

***Español: si quieren también me pueden escribir en español. Es mi idioma natal.***

One note: I prefer to host individuals who are using Couchsurfing meaningfully for travel and getting to know locals. I am open to last-minute requests only if there has been some emergency or other unforeseen circumstances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve met several people on my travels around the world who recommended Couchsurfing. And I have now hosted people, and I have found it to be a fun way to meet new friends from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked for one month in Colombia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself a pretty decent amateur tour guide, so if I have time and you want, I could show you around the city. I can also give you many sightseeing suggestions, from the common ones to the stuff that the locals like to do. I usually also have good craft/artisan beers in my refrigerator which I am happy to share. And I can offer you freshly ground coffee :)
