I am attempting to bike around the entire island of Puerto Rico, which has been quite challenging so far. The biggest challenge of all is finding a place to sleep, so I would be very grateful for any help I can find! I look forward to meeting anyone I can along the way and sharing stories...

PHILOSOPHY
Not sure what to write here. This quote resonates with me:

"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy.' They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."

-John Lennon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing a country is a wonderful experience, but you can never truly know a place until you spend time and share moments with and inspire smiles in the people who call it "home." This human facet of the traveling experience is what makes it beautiful and gives it substance. Couchsurfing offers a direct channel to people from everywhere and anywhere on the planet, who will share their world with you, and with whom you can share yours - without a cent, penny, euro, or peso ever changing hands. It really is the only one of its kind, and I hope to make it a part of my future travels, and to continue hosting as well.
