CURRENT MISSION

To leave a positive and creative foot print everywhere I go....

ABOUT ME

I was born in East L.A., and grew up between two worlds: El Salvador and Los Angeles. I decided to leave the City of Angeles, and embark on an enlightening journey to San Francisco. For the past 9 years I have been an active San Franciscan, eating burritos at taqueria Cancun on Mission St., to drinking prosecco on the rare sunny days at Dolores Park. In August of 2009 I moved to Milan, Italy as an exchange student in search for unique perspectives on life and the world of Design. Now I am officially residing in Madrid.

PHILOSOPHY

"...Be careful of who and what you let in your mind..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in the importance of building and maintaining communities. A healthy community is necessary for cultures to survive, and as travelers, we must strengthen our bond and help one another share our cultures and experiences around the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every time has been a positive and life changing experience!
