••••••••••••••• 🕺🏻About Me 🙋🏻‍♂️ ••••••••••••••••

Hola CSfers! Extrovert, spontaneous that pushed himself out of his comfort zone and now sees the positive side of life. I work in education and travel during the school's break. I love to wander unfamiliar places where I have never been before and may have a language challenge. When I'm exposed to different cultures I'm always amazed and like to learn more about their country and way of living.

I prefer dying living life than living life dying.

•••••••••••••••••🕵🏻‍♂️ Mission 🔎 ••••••••••••••••

I always love to meet other outgoing people who could be locals, expats, and other travelers and learn more about them, their lifestyle at home, and any tips or interesting travel stories they may have.

I’m looking to befriends with genuine people. Life is about surrounding yourself with people that will speak positively when you’re not in the room.

When it’s my last breath, I want to smile.

•••••••••••••••••• 🛋 Host 🏡••••••••••••••••••

• HOSTED:
I hope I can be a guest at your place even if it’s just for one night, it’s a night you opened your doors for me! If you’re not able to host me I'm always looking to meet new people!

I’m an spontaneous traveler, this means that sometimes I will request hosting last minute. *Me looking for a host: “I’m not a serial killer, please host me!” Hahah.

• HOSTING:
*Living with family after back from backpacking* When I host I'm open to hangout with surfers and show around NYC spots, bars, and nightlife. I'm a social person who likes socializing on the weekends and sometimes staying home and hangout at my terrace (when saving to travel). Sadly, if I'm busy I will give you recommendations and you can do your own thing.

If you're looking for a place to crash after being out all day exploring I'm okay with that as I know it is hard sometimes to find a host that would be okay with surfers just sleeping as your time is limited to be staying in if I can’t leave the house that day. Sometimes I might even come home later then you if I have plans myself *Laughs in Spanish.*

House rule: So far I haven’t had to set any as surfers have been amazingly respectful and conscious when being hosted and coming home late.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
