Hey everyone! I am a Graduate student from Bronx, New York now living in Philly! I love to learn and interact with new people. Five things I can't live without: food, my journal, music, my water bottle and my aquaphor =) I enjoy cooking, looking at food and talking about food. I live my life honestly and expect the same from people I meet.

Since I am from New York, I love walking around cities to get to know the culture, eating local food and sharing experience. I love people watching and art so I spend a lot of time in galleries and museums. I also love music so I enjoy going to dance Salsa, Merengue, singing to Lauren Hill or rapping to Cardi Bs latest album. When I am not working, I am usually out exploring, at home reading or watching netflix, or hanging out with new people.

If I can’t host you, I can hang out and grab drinks or go to a cool event, check out museum or gallery or go dancing when I have the energy (LOL).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to Philadelphia in August 2017 and live in a cute studio apartment that I would love to share with other cool travelers. I love to share meals with friends and getting to know city's culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English at a summer camp in Spain and got to know the students and be in nature. I loved engaging with the students and talking to them about my adventures and being from New York. It was such a rewarding experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can crochet! So we can hang out at my place, drink, eat plantains and I can teach you to crochet LOL

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share my love of food and cooking and conversation! My girlfriend is from Venezuela so I learned how to make arepas of all kinds and I’m Puerto Rican so you’d enjoy the best pastelillos! I laugh a lot so we will have fun together.
