I am proudly from Puerto Rico. I have lived there most of my life. Had the opportunity to study abroad for over a year and have had the privilege to see some amazing countries and meet wonderful people. I want to keep feeding that desire to know more, erase my preconceived notions of a place or a person and be open to discovering what binds us all in essence. Human nature! I have recently come across the stoicism philosophy and have adopted “Memento mori” and “memento homo” as what I live by (to some degree, right?).
So, I want to get living. Thanks for being open to that too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We all have a common ancestor and this sounds like a special platform to reconnect with our brothers and sisters around the world.
