I'm based in Chicago, IL. I love traveling, visiting new places, meeting new people, and learning from different cultures. I enjoy sharing experiences like road trips, walking around the city and getting coffee, attending local events, or any seemingly little things we can enjoy together. As I see it, that’s what makes life more vivid, memorable, and fulfilling. ♥️

About what I do in Marketing and Creative/my work:

I love what I do, I'm passionate about my brand, and I believe everyone should be able to say so. It's what allows us to make the best of our work.
Still, talking or hoping for what I think should happen makes little difference. I've found more value in making it happen. The experiences we create and share with others connect us and make brands memorable.

That's where my passion for experiential marketing, branding, and creative design comes from. Every experience we share with partners or clients, those we create for the audience, and each goal they achieve through my work is rewarding and worth all it takes. 🙌🏻

XCA Creative (my brand) means experiences designed by and for creative, authentic brands and people. It's to connect, partner, and work together to do what we do best.
That's the key asset behind and beyond the brand, inspiring us. Those who dare to take action, disrupt the average, and do what they're passionate about. We aim to build brands that inspire and allow them to do so. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and learning from different perspectives, backgrounds, or cultures. I love traveling and sharing that experience with others. I also like to share my culture and everything I learn. Life is too short to spend most of our time in the same place, with the same people, doing the same things every day. That would limit our perspective. I believe that traveling and meeting new people help us keep an open mind. Sharing our knowledge, culture, and experiences makes life more vivid, rewarding and fulfilling. Learning from others helps us stay connected, down-to-earth, and authentic.
