CURRENT MISSION:
Visit and train at every Jiu Jitsu Academy in the world while creating a podcasts of my journey.

ABOUT ME:
I love sports, traveling, and getting to know people and their culture. I'm a voracious reader and my favorite book hands down is Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. I have horrible hand eye coordination when it comes to sports but that has never stopped me. I play soccer, a horrible game of basketball, baseball, lacrosse, ping pong, but I will destroy anyone who isn't European at foozball.

I've had so much fun working for so many great entrepreneurs. To name the best: an international educational consultant, a beverage company, a surfboard shaper, a chess tutor, an MMA gym, and an entomologist. This time, I finally felt it was my turn to take a shot an entrepreneurship.

I'm usually very mellow and relaxed , but if something excites me, I have to tell everyone in the room. I'm energetic when it comes to my passions. Im a huge fan of listening to someone's story. I can sit for hours just digesting life stories .

PHILOSOPHY: A bad moment is a good story to tell later on.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet new people while I travel around the world! Also, my sister was an avid CSurfer so I thought, I'll keep the tradition strong!
