CURRENT MISSION

Create endless possibilities through my interaction and discovery of new places and meeting diverse groups of people

ABOUT ME

I was touring Asia, India, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Hawaii, South America and Australia for the next 5 months. I wrote a blog about my travels, people that I meet, experiences and my journey along the way. You can check it out: globalfashionation.blogspot.com

I decided to extend my travels throughout the US and Europe. My trip ended up being 9 months and 20 countries and counting!

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

"Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are."

"If you want a certain thing, you must first be a certain person. Once you are that certain person, obtaining that certain thing will no longer be a concern of yours."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed my way around the world and pay it forward by orienting people into the city or hosting at times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never in my life have I experienced such a welcoming generosity of someone's time, home and friendship all over the world. Many of the people that I have met during my travels lead the most inspirational lives and are the true models of unconditional love, generosity and kindness for fellow human beings!

Interests

I love salsa, bachata and most forms of latin dancing. I was born and raised in a predominantly Puerto Rican and latino community so I have always been a big fan of the culture, food, dance, la musica y todo. I love photography and capturing moments that most people don't get to witness in their lives. I enjoy meeting diverse groups of people where we can share our passions for travel and new experiences and constantly evolving.

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou
