Overview
About Me
Im first Generation Mexican American. Kinda dorky but have been told that my spontaneous nature keeps people on their toes. I like picking up conversations with random strangers when the situations permits. The goal is to no longer be such by the end of the convo. I LOVE music. I have previously sang, played guitar, and danced in shows. I like the night life and am open if my schedule permits to show anyone a nice night out in the town.
I enjoy the outdoor setting in nature once in a while. Open to taking hikes and yoga sessions out on the beach. A nice outdoors run always helps clear the mind. Yes Im a little bit or a hippie. Sustainability and conservation is key. I like going to mountains to either camp, snowboard, and or spend some time in a cabin. In order to partake in these activities I do try to stay somewhat fit and try to maintain a healthy diet and exercise (I am open to any suggestions in this department). I enjoy to cook and to eat :-). Always love to learn a new dish. Maybe you can teach me.
I'm currently a student at Cal State Long Beach and majoring in Communications and minoring in Entrepreneurship. If you have any question pleas feel free to message me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I suffer from a condition called music schizophrenia. I can listen and fall in love with almost any kind of music. My favorite band is Sublime, naturally as I am from the LBC. Tendencies usually find me to listening to R&B and Rap. I LOVE dancing Salsa. When I karaoke I faithfully follow my country heart.
Favorite Movies consist of Forrest Gump, a must watch every year at least. Love in basketball is a close second.
My reading list currently consists of the Game of Thrones saga. Paulo Coelho and John Grisham never seem to let me down.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am kinda on the adventurous side if you will. I feel as if we need to push some of our limits. I have skydived many times (its addicting like tattoos even though I don't have any).
I really don't know what amazing things I have done but have been whiteness to a kind heart.
I have fallen in love, written and produced a song, and have had the chance to meet some amazing people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can definitely teach anyone how to dance salsa if your interested. If you are learning Spanish I can provide a Spanish only environment that way you can practice. I guess same goes for English :-)
I am learning how to play the Guitar as of right now. I want to make a cover cd with my families favorite songs one day.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share a very comfortable couch. plenty of water to drink, a warm shower, a rest room and if time and cost permit a meal. I can for sure provide a fun time or a relaxing stay to recharge your batteries. whatever the case.
Countries I’ve Visited
Colombia, Egypt, Mexico, United States
