Hello!

My name is Daniel Ontiveros, I am a cultured growing entrepreneur. I grew up in a family full of entrepreneurs that have also hosted exchange students for 3 generations. My life has expanded in countless directions, learning several cultures, languages and religions. Now my mother runs the exchange student program in Arizona, so every year I am a mentor for 30 plus exchange students for 10 months.

I was raised in a life full of art, sports and computers. I've played several instruments but my favorite ones I've played was Violin (8 years) and Cello (3 Years), was in a classic orchestra, mariachi band and classic rock band. I also studied filming, photography graphic design. I have a strong desire to continue studying these fields.

I have participated in several sports but my favorite was Club Track and Field. My events where mid-distance and shot put. When it comes to computers, I have taught myself how to build several computer builds and have been in love with growing up with computers and the internet. Not long after I built a Ethereum Crypto Currency mining company with thousands of dollars invested from my investors. After, I helped build up a iPhone Part distributor and LCD recycling company that extended nationwide.

I have always wanted to join culinary school and dancing classes. I grew up cooking for a 6-15 person household and love to learn new fresh dishes to cook and enjoy with others. I have always had a passion to dance with female partners but outside of the traditional dancing styles. For example I would love to learn how to dance Baile Folklorico.

I love cars. I really enjoy to build cars from scratch. I have built several project cars and I intend to build another one upon my return to home. I am a big fan of Japanese cars.

If you like dogs, be sure to ask me about my deaf Queensland heeler I rescued and trained!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was going to be an exchange student in 2 different programs but instead I am choosing to backpack a crossed the world myself and have numerous experiences. I've been told by several groups of people in my life that they wished they could do what I do at my age, so why not travel right now?

I am traveling to 10 or more countries around Europe to stay with previous hosted exchange students, friends and family in each country. Only reason why I would be using Couchsurfing is if I go to other places that I do not have Family to stay with. But I would love to get to know who you are!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have loved listening electronic music all my life, hardstyle, hardcore and a ton of chill music / lofi hip-hop. Of course I have had other music genre fazes and still listen to them occasionally. I have almost 3,000 songs saved on my Spotify I listen to daily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my proudest chapters of my life was traveling to Costa Rica to volunteer in schools and orphanages to help build improvements to their property and teach the kids how to speak English. But most importantly being there with them.
