Born and raised in Puerto Rico, thus I love the beach and the mountains and rivers, we have it all! I'm a professional folkloric dancer with Puerto Rico's National Folkloric Company Gíbaro de Puerto Rico since 2006, although I've trained in classical ballet, contemporary dance and jazz all my life (that have given me many of the travel opportunities I've had).

I'm currently a PhD Graduate Student in Neuroscience, aiming to work at the National Institutes of Mental Health. I'm very outgoing, love to go out dancing, read a book or watch one of the plethora of series available (Dr.Who being my favorite so far).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been traveling since I was a kid, and always remember that the best trips were the ones where I got to experience the local lifestyle. That's how I want the rest of my travel experiences to be, regardless if I'm traveling for business or pleasure.

Interests

I love Science, Dancing, Hiking, Rafting (although I've never done it), Zip-lining, going to the beach, trying different foods or any adventurous activity that might present itself (not in a YOLO kind of way though).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

only one?! Just kidding... Live life how I want, not how others expect me to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I adore teaching science, Spanish or dancing!
I want to learn how to cook a "signature dish" hopefully some mixed cuisine, I don't know really, I'm an amateur at this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends on the Hosts' interests and where we coincide. But hey, new experiences are to be expected!
