Overview
About Me
I'm easy-going, I do a lot of running or biking.
I grew up in Venezuela and have lived in Panama the past 11 years.
When corona hit Panama I hitched a ride on a Catamaran to Cancun anf spent a month there until I found a sailboat to Saint Malo, France.
Now I've bought a bike and am touring Europe for a few weeks.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been on the road for several months now. In Latin America I don't usually use couchsurfing because I know Spanish and can get by easily.
Now that I'm in Europe I find it a bit harder to connect with people. I've been biking 2 weeks from Saint Malo and would love to meet locals along the way.
Interests
In Panama I'm part of a drinking club with a running problem. We have meetings every Monday at 6pm.
Last year I ran my first 100km race in the deserts of Arizona. Other members of my club joined as well and some even did 160km.
Before running I was a mountain biker, I was sponsored by Rocky Mountain for 2 years and raced in the USA and Canada.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love French rap/trap jajaja
I read a bunch of books during the Transat. Most notably "The Path Between the Seas", it narrates the story of how the Panama Canal came to be. I should have probably read that a long time ago. I was surprised how involved the French were in the early days!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm the only person. In Panama to have completed an Everesting. Basically I road my bike up and down 1 hill 11 times to complete the height of everest 8848 meters. It took me 23 hours including 2 hours I stopped here and there to eat, get water and charge my GPS device
