I am a student in Florida, originally born in Venezuela. I am a biotechnology student wishing to travel before graduating and starting medical school. Most of my professional experiences include clinical and laboratory experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wishing to make this great big world a little less big; I think through traveling and immersing ourselves with locals we can really understand different perspectives and cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

My goal is to take back one local-based dish per day while traveling and recreate it back home; my idea is that through food is the best way to immerse oneself in culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to help with household chores (outside the house, too!), as well as help cook meals with my hosts, and also share my little knowledge with them.
