Hello my name is Jorge. I'm a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at El Paso. I was born in El Paso but I grew up in Juarez, Mexico which is why I speak Spanish. I am very friendly person who just wants to get out there and meet new people and explore the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be receiving my Master's in December and I have a job lined up but I really wanted to travel before I start work so I asked the company to allow me to start in July giving me six months to travel. I heard this was the best way to meet new people and travel on a budget so here I am. I look forward to meeting you!
