I would love to hang out, learn about your culture, teach you about mine, and share new experiences!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in the US. I am a super chill person, always smiling, humble, respectful, and open-minded. I'm quitting my boring office job to go traveling again. I tried living a "normal" life but I realized it's not for me...I'm in search of balance, purpose, and adventure! So I'm back on the road again, this time in Southeast Asia. I'm hoping to pursue a new career as a wildland firefighter when I return home, and I'm very excited about it. I love to be in the ocean, surf the waves, take photos, go to the beach, go hiking, draw and paint, cook delicious food, and check out cool events and bars. I have a very adventurous spirit, love the outdoors and learning about history, languages and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to view Couchsurfing as a cultural exchange..I would really like to get to know who you are and maybe learn something new. I think the best thing about couchsurfing is getting to know each other and sharing our stories, knowledge, and passions with each other. And of course make new friends!

As a surfer I really want to get to know you, your culture, and your town. If I just needed a place to stay, I would go to a hostel. Couchsurfing is more than that!

As a host I try to make time for my guests whenever my schedule permits it. I will also give you your space and time to relax too. I totally understand needing a free place to stay, but there is so much more to Couchsurfing than just that!
