I'm a storyteller, comedian, and social justice educator who currently lives in the South Bronx raised in Dayton, OH by two Dominican parents.

I love to travel and experience culture through art, music, film, theater, dancing and (vegan) food.

I have a deep sense of adventure and love meeting new people and creating homes away from home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing because I think my best experiences in other countries have been spending time with people from that country. Whether it is having a meal, going out late, or just strolling through town, to me, what makes a place is the connections built there.

Interests

I love all types of arts. I love seeing live music or theater. I am an improv comedian so I love going to see improv shows (especially in different languages).

I really love dancing (as can be seen in my photos). I find it such a release.

Also, any type of active activity - roller skating, biking, surfing, yoga. Anything that gets my body moving.

And on the more mellow side, I love just long conversations about life, love, and issues in the world.

Me encanta el teatro. Soy parte de un grupo de improvisación de comedia en mi universidad y he actuado de alguna manera toda mi vida. En Valparaíso, estoy tomando un ramo de movimiento con la carrera de teatro y he sido mi mejor experiencia acá en Chile. Amo la manera en que teatro puede conectar diferentes personas.
