I was born in the USA but I have also lived in China and Japan. I have lived in El Salvador for 5 years and I think it is the best place I have ever been. I am a workaholic. I paint murals and draw comics for fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share my lovely home here in San Miguel with others and encourage people to enjoy all that El Salvador has to offer. My city, San Miguel , is home to El Salvador's famous carnival that is attended by 1/3 of all people in our nation. I would love to host some people in November so they can have that carnival experience!

San Miguel is a good midpoint for people on their way to the mountains in the north, the beach in the south, San Salvador to the west, and Honduras to the east.

⚠️warning! Right now there is an increase in cases of dengue fever in El Salvador. This is especially a risk in my house, as I live in a green area near the river. I myself and one other couch surfer have gotten dengue. Be prepared to use a lot of repellant and cover up if you visit us 🦟 ⚠️
