Currently I'm a software engineer at a technology startup in NYC. I love working in the internet/technology industry. Eventually I'd like to found my own company, so what I find most exciting about my job is the opportunity to learn first hand what it takes to build a business from the ground up.

I was born and raised in Long Island, New York, however my entire family is Colombian so I grew up with Spanish as my first language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet cool people. When traveling I want to immerse myself in the culture and experience the country through the eyes of the locals.

Interests

I really enjoy getting to meet and vibe with new people. I enjoy going out. On the weekends I am a creature of the night.

The six things I could never do without
1.) Netflix
2.)Wearing my fFlip flops with socks
3.) Macbook
4.) Red wine
5.) NY Jets
6.) Kindle

I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, Cudi, Nas, Eminem & Fashawn.
