I was born and raised in Puerto Rico to a Cuban family and moved to New Orleans in 2007. I've been comfortably stuck here ever since. Like you, I have an urge to see the world. I intend to accomplish that with humility and an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To befriend strangers here, there, and everywhere. I think it will prepare me to host travelers in the mountains of Puerto Rico, where I hope to develop a retreat of sorts someday. I'm also working on a Caribbean island-hopping travel guide for budget travelers. I'm excited to make new friends and establish a reciprocal dynamic with whomever I bump into along the way.
