ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm a Native New Yorker, an ESL Teacher, an avid traveler, and an entrepreneur living in Washington, DC. I'm a big music enthusiast and I enjoy going to concerts whenever I can. I'm really into politics, current events so I try to keep up with recent news. I've been playing trumpet for many years and am currently learning to play the electric guitar at the moment. I am also an avid sports fan and enjoy going to games/matches whenever I can. I really enjoy traveling around the world to different countries and meeting people from various cultures and backgrounds too.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet with, host, and share good times with good people from around the world. I'm curious to make friends who are from different countries around the world and have various cultural and social backgrounds. Couchsurfing is a great place to do this and I look forward to meeting cool people through this unique website.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I went Skydiving on my 22nd Birthday. That was really amazing. I also went in a hot air balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey and have gone Parasailing off the Bahama islands.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you some English and I would be happy to learn a bit of your native language whatever that may be.
I'll share with you my cooking if you're interested and we can also share our taste in music, movies, and books.
