When I was 7, I wanted to be singer and lawyer. Now I don't have any idea of what I'm doing so I travel to escape... lol. I'm recently graduated from Audiovisual Communications and Arts - Photography. I collaborate in a arts gallery in Paris! If I find productor$$$ I'm sure I'll be famous. Meanwhile, I will apply for a master in International Negotiation (I will be student all my life I think). Life is very short... (The Beatles in the backround).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Back in Puerto Rico I lived 15 minutes from the beach in an apartment with two rooms and a big living room where we had backpackers from Sweden, France, Spain, United States, Italy, Colombia and Mexico.

As backpacker, I prefer to stay with locals to see the city from an informed view and learn about their cultures and opinion.

***At the moment, I don't have enough space to receive guests in Paris, (I'll have an apartment in 2 months) but I love to go out and show visitors some of the amazing places I've seen here, the most beautiful city in the world!

*** Being in 3 different countries the same day (Paris, France / London, England / Dublin, Ireland)

** Florence and the Machine in Lisbon (Superbock 2015)

* I escape from a hospital in Nicaragua with the help of the director of medicine, almost missed a flight because doctors wanted me to stay... I was the first case of chinkungunya in Nicaragua, I appeared in national news!

I've travelled 47 cities through the last 3 years as backpacker across 14 countries!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to understand the problematics of the different societies, to compare with the issues of Puerto Rico and look for solutions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a party, I will light it up all night with the best salsa playlist ever and you will have great photos as memories! Oh, and I can make you mofongo too!
