Hello, my name is Andres Arango and I am currently a mechanical engineering student at the City College of New York.

I am Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Honduran and I was born and raised in New York City.

I would offer my couch, but I live with my mom, so it's not my couch...Yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm from New York so I like to meet new people and experience new things, get it? New New New!

I do not like to stay inside the house when I travel (or when i'm in my hometown) i.e. I only need a couch. Let's go out and have fun, I hope you know places to dance!

Interests

I love dancing and exercising. I am a fully recovered World of Warcraft addict ( P.S. World of Warcraft is an online video game, not a drug).

I make a lot of puns and it's ok if you don't get them, they're mostly for me. I write poetry and enjoy freestyling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Hip-Hop, R&B, salsa, bachata, soca, reggae, and some old-school house.

I try not put myself in a box, with that being said, I'm open to all music and I have songs I enjoy from all genres.

My favorite movies include but are not limited to:
When Harry Met Sally, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, IP Man, Lord of The Rings (THE WHOLE TRILOGY) and The Matrix.

I have a tendency to read the same books over and over, I just wait a really long time until I kind of forget the storylines, maybe you can reccomend me some good books, until then, some of my favorite books are: Eragon, Ender's Game, Viking warrior, Ranger's Apprentice, Dragonmaster, The legend of Drizzt.

I also love Anime and Manga but I've fallen far behind on my series' because of school, boo hoo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really keep track of those things, if I've done something amazing other people will tell me.

I used to lifeguard at Far Rockaway beach so I suppose me saving countless lives might be considered amazing but I do not think so, it was my job.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm learning to be a dance instructor in NYC for Rueda de Casino, a traditional Cuban dance, and I would be willing to teach my host some basic to advanced dance moves.

I enjoy cooking breakfast and you are always invited to my daily workouts.
