Important note at bottom of this profile section.

I had the privilege of growing up on Manhattan's upper west side and attending high school in a small town upstate NY.
Developed two passions that I am very grateful for.
Photography and motorcycling. Both have brought me to innumerable places, and wonderful encounters with my fellow humans.
I hope couch surfing will help extend my travels as well as meeting new friends.
My wife and I live in a large house in the Bronx and hope to extend it to the couchsurfing family.

Feel free to google my name:

Clarence Elie Rivera

Note: If you voted for Donald Trump or Republicans that makes you a racist and you are not welcomed in my home. And would not like to spend time in your home either.
