About Me

Heard about couchsurfing from this girl I met at a random bar in Barcelona and I am very excited to meet amazing new people.

I'm from Philadelphia, PA and attend Temple University. I have one year left and I'm PUMPED to get out of there (even though I know I'm gonna want to go back after I graduate). I just came back from studying abroad in Barcelona over the summer and had an amazing time. Visited Amsterdam, a few cities in Morocco, Geneva and Copenhagen. Copenhagen was HANDS DOWN the coolest european city I've been to in Europe.

I'm 100% Panamanian but was born in The States. I know I put fluent up there and I am very close but I still struggle with a few grammar rules and I tend to talk slowly to fully get my point across.

There are so many places I want to visit before I die. I have a bucket list as well and I enjoy attempting to cross things off when I get the chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can save some bills and meet cool peeps while traveling.

Interests

Skateboarding!!! Chillin out, traveling the world! Having long conversations over a coffee or a beer, getting lost in new cities, getting dowwwnn (dancing) and meeting new people of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ohhh favorite music is such a task to list but in general I'm into Indie rock with a lot of psychedellic sounds and synths and what not. Neon Indian is a classic example but they aren't my favorite. I'm really into Mac Demarco and Unknown Mortal Orchestra at the moment though. I also like A Tribe Called Red!!! I have an interesting story about a time I was listening to their music.

Movies? Mehh I dunno. I will always keep "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" close to my heart. It gives me courage to do things that I otherwise wouldnt. "Before Sunset" series, Annie Hall.
Books? A Thousand Splendid Suns was amazing. I haven't been reading much either and I would very much like to change that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied Abroad in Barcelona!!

Rode a camel in Morocco. I never thought I would find myself on one of those animals.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ight I'll put some quotes here I suppose:

"Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested in only the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man."
Paulo Coehlo - The Alchemist

"Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them."
By someone I can't remember

"The time men spend in trying to impress others they could spend in doing the things by which others would be impressed."
Frank Romer

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and laughs!! I plan on ALWAYS bringing a gift for my hosts because its the least I can do. So expect something!

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Morocco, Netherlands, Panama, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In
