📞+57 317 494 0958 (whats)

I'm from New Mexico, USA. I lived in the SF bay area in California, then on the Pacific coast (Nayarit) in Mexico. For the past year and a half, I've been traveling in Colombia, Brazil, and now Europe.
My main goal is to connect with musicians and create together. I've been a working musician since 2016 and need to stay active as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer traveling slowly and connecting with the local culture. It's important to meet real people and have authentic experiences. I generally avoid typical tourist activities!
I've met a lot of great people on this platform... I'm extremely grateful for the generosity of those who open their homes to travelers.
