About Me

Easy-going, open-minded, not high maintenance. I love to travel and would like to anytime I have the opportunity.

My next big trip goal is to make it to South America - really want to visit Bogotá and Medellín in Colombia (and Guatape as a side trip from Medellín) and then Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile. In the meantime before I plan that out I'm planning to explore some new cities in Mexico and keep traveling here within the U.S. I want to get to know this side of the world a lot more until I have the opportunity to travel farther!!!

I believe in treating people well and finding comfort in simplicity. Minimalist when it comes to traveling. If I have a floor, food, and water, I'm good to go.

I am gay, in case that is a relevant detail for you when it comes to hosting me or staying at my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept of people sharing their knowledge of where they live with others. I think it's one of the greatest gifts you can give to other humans. I also love meeting people who are as excited and passionate about traveling as I am.

My first couchsurfing experience was with Roxana in Mexico City, who is one of the kindest and coolest people I've ever met.

Books and movies are good too. I love comedy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, and a good drama every now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2014: Going to Mexico City for the first time... basically everything over there. Seeing the pyramids at Teotihuacán. Seeing and going inside the huge pyramid and beautiful church on top of the hill in Cholula, Mexico. 🌋🌋🌋

2016: Going to the pride parade in San Francisco 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

2017: Going up the Burj Khalifa in Dubai 🏙🏙🏙

2018: Oktoberfest in Munich 🍻🍻🍻

2019: Traveling for a ton of concerts - NYC to see Robyn, D.C. to see Kim Petras, L.A. to see Lana Del Rey 😍 also making a one-day trip to Mexico to help my best friend move and almost missing my flight back from Monterrey due to visa issues

If you're wondering, 2015 was trash for me. Just kidding... I'm sure there was some cool stuff that year too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and piano. If you have one around or if you are staying with me we can jam together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm staying with you, I'll pay for your meals and will pay for things if we do something together.
