ABOUT ME
Honest | Open | Spontaneous | Collectively-conscious

Hello, my name is Cristian and I am Puerto Rican from Pennsylvania but currently live in Brooklyn, New York. I have also lived in many places such as Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Colombia. Through my travels I enjoy visiting and working on organic farms. I also enjoy learning more about strong communities, local dance and art activism.

I am educator and activist who teaches yoga, capoeira and bicycling classes.

I look forward to visiting Colombia for two weeks in March/April.

Espero con mucho ánimo un viaje a Colombia por dos semanas en marzo/abril.

PHILOSOPHY

"To make the kingdom new, to make it honorable and worthy of life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Everywhere I go, I hope to experience the city and landscapes via bike. When traveling, I love to talk to many people as possible to get an understanding of the local culture.
I also like to meet other people who do Capoeira Angola, an afrobrazilian martial art.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Throughout my one year stay in Brazil I only used Couchsurfing. Brazilians are the most hospitable people in the world!
