I am Mexican-American, first generation. I am a bit on the shy side when it comes to first meetings , but once we establish a good connection or conversation I am a little more relaxed and easy going. I am here on Couchsurfing to get out of my comfort zone of being around the people I know most of the time and kind of closing myself out to potential friends/acquaintances. I am not opposed to meeting people what so ever, i love meeting people when i am out traveling and I do, but the concept of setting a date to meet or stay with someone is out of my comfort zone. And that is why i am here. I cannot grow as a person if i don't put myself in uncomfortable situations (subjective). I love traveling, eating, exploring cities, nature, listening to jazz, having a drink(coffee or alcohol) while listening to some good music and like when people introduce me to new things I never thought i would do or make me do it. Im very easy going, calm, straight forward kind of guy. I am honest, kind and respectful. Most importanly as a guest, respectful, clean and considerate. There is more to me, but I just feel the best way to find out is to meet :)

Philosophy of life.

I believe there are many tiny pieces of ourselves scattered through the world, and it is our purpose to travel and experience the world and as we do we collect a piece of the puzzle of our selfs to fully understand who we are or what we are.

“The continued pursuit to happiness”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people, regardless if I am staying at there place or just meeting up. I travel alone, so it is nice knowing someone might be able to join me at my next location for either a coffee, a show or just be able to converse. Experience the culture together and learn from each other. Overall, i am here to connect with people from all over the world as i travel and I hope people would want the same with me whenever we find each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Fuji San (Mt. Fuji) in Japan. It was amazing being on top of the mountain looking down at the country that I had always dreamed of going to in Asia. Accomplished and drained, but happy.
