I am a recent university graduate from Puerto Rico. Besides school related work, I dedicate my free time to working with non profit organizations, environmental organizations, snorkeling and scuba diving, training youth to be future leaders and volunteering with environmental and animal care education. I speak Spanish and English and I am learning a little German (I'm starting to forget, please help me practice! :P ). Also I love to work with animals, nature, communities and explore new places. I love dancing, learning about music from around the world and also teaching some steps to those interested in puertorican dances! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to learn about a place and culture is by creating friendships and connections with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteer work with sea turtles in Costa Rica was the coolest experience for me! But every time I visit a new city or natural space, I find something that is very interesting or amazing to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about my island and show cool places that not even many tourists or locals know! If you visit Puerto Rico, I'm always available to share ideas depending on your preferences of things to do (even if I can't host at the time, you can always write and ask). It doesn't matter if you're more of a beach person, a forest person or a city person, there are many cool places I could help you to find.
