Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but moved back to California in 2016 after living in Spain for a few years. Charlatán who does have a quiet side. Pretty extroverted but I do value my alone time. I would like to think of myself as open-minded... but hey, test me and we shall see! I'm a big music lover and I go crazy over cats... Really though, I just enjoy moving through that journey we call life. A dear passer-by in 'mi vida' reminded me that "nada pasa por casualidad" or that "nothing happens by chance". I've found this to be proven true time and time again. Let's see what happens!

Sidenote: I am currently not hosting because my life is pretty busy right now (in a good way). When I have time to dedicate to my surfers, I will!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted travelers before and have been hosted myself. Most times it hasn't been directly through the CS community, but this is also a great way to connect with others.
