I like to know different cultures from their locals. If COVID is activated here or in your place YOU HAVE to show vaccine documentation & respect the island covid rules. On the other hand.... 🥴... Im a person with a good sense of humor (confirmed...!!! I think...), not afraid to improvise, biology professor, bilingual (español, Intermediate Italian), 47 years, loving to travel (but... hating the “stay” (like a dog) reality :-)).

VERY IMPORTANT!! I like to help, but you have to help me too doing the dishes, bed or maybe cooking. Is just to help each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live close to the center of the island, like two hours away from San Juan (where the international airport is located), but close to the city of Ponce (south of the island). Transportation here, BELIVE ME IM A LOCAL, is nill, only present in the metropolitan area (Tren Urbano (the metro) & a problematic bus service in the metropolitan area). So if you don’t rent a car I can help you driving an hour (if I can) to pick you up to my place a then leave you in a good spot to hitchhike, for free. Even if I have the time I can pick U up at the airport (two hours drive one way) but for a fuel fee. Many Couchsurfers has been here but you have to have in mind that where I live is very isolated. No bakeries, supermarkets at walking distance, so if you’re going to stay here you have to bring your food, or is better if you help buying some things so I can fix food for both. If I accept you is because I can bring U road trips, hikes, Kayak, local gastronomy, and in week days if I work I can leave you in the colonial City of Ponce and in the evening I’ll pick U up and drive again to my place. My house is a small wooden house in the middle of coffee, plantain and banana plantations.
