This is my favorite quote and the one I follow everyday:

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” ― Ernest Hemingway

I'm born and raised in Panama and I've been living in the States for 6 years now. I graduated from Florida State University (Go Noles!) Majored in Marketing/Sales and Music (Voice Performance). I work as an account executive for a software start up company here in Austin. I love my job, they treat me very well. I'm saving up for a house and to record my first solo album with all the songs I've written (crossing fingers)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up, my parents couldn't afford to let me travel as often. They always installed in me that the world is much bigger than just your inner circle. In high school, we would host exchange students from Australia, Germany, Argentina, and Chile. Through that experience I was able to see the world from their eyes and learn from other world citizens. That is why I decided to continue my path of knowledge and learning from others through Couchsurfing.

First time doing couchsurfing was in Atlanta and it was the best time of my life! Couchsurfing changed my life!
