About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To write and publish stories that help people understand or apreciate each other more or that motivate people to move forward in life.
Now that I am back in Puerto Rico my main focus is finishing my studies in Creative Writing and possibly Human Rights.

ABOUT ME

At times quiet and contemplative; at others talkative and bubbly. While in the first mood I like to listen to your story, and to get to know you in a deep level, while in the second I'm ready to answer any questions you shoot at me. When both behaviours are balanced is when the best conversations ensue.
All arts are my biggest passions since they are the vehicle I use to: write about global issues that I care about, express my feelings, evoke positive feelings in others, share my imagination with people etc.
Talking about people: I love to make new friends. From the first time we meet I'll consider you my friend, and all I expect from you is to be yourself, and, if you so wish, that you keep in touch once life puts miles of distance between us again.
So no matter where you're from if you stumbled across my profile please message me.

PHILOSOPHY
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Albert Camus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a fantastic time hosting people back in LA , and will do so again in Puerto Rico (if I am not too busy with my novels or university work), but I’d also love to start using Couchsurfing now, for the first time, as a guest since I plan to continue traveling whenever I get the chance, and I’d prefer to stay with the locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
As mentioned above, I hosted many people for almost two years while I lived in LA and it was a fantastic experience. Met tons of people and made some really good friends 😃
Hopefully I’ll have similar experiences now as a guest. 🙂

Interests

The arts (especially writing, photography, and music.),nature, sports (especially swimming, tennis, and artistic gymnastics), cooking, going for walks, learning languages, exploring a city, making friends, motivational speeches, hiking, writing down dreams and nightmares, , trying new foods, video games (especially those with a good story, puzzle games or those you can play with lots of people), table games, anime, tv series, electronics, history, biology, astronomy,interesting, and unique clothes (though I like casual clothes too), concerts, and I'll stop because this list could go on forever. Just let me know what you like. There's a high possibility that I'll be interested in it and/or willing to learn about it

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'll sit, and watch various types of stories, but the ones that hook me the most: are comedies, phychological thrillers, romances, and the absolute best ones: the ones that mix genres or the ones that have a wide cast with people of different ages, countries etc (like Sense 8 for example) Other things I love in movies are: lighthearted or quirky characters, a good mystery,and/ or an ambiguous plot.
Music: Listen to a bit of everythign: Pop, Rock, Jazz. Electronic, Piano Instrumentals... And if they're combined even better.
Books: I’m drawn mostly fantasy, and adventure, but lately I occasionally read from many more genres as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I achieved some nice things during the year I lived in LA, but writing them here feels like odd bragging so if you want to know anything about my experiences in the US or my experiences in Puerto Rico just ask me in a message, and I will answer. I do take my time to reply sometimes though, but sooner or later I always reply.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn Spanish,English or some Japanese please let me know.
I dabble into a lot of subjects so you can also get random facts or details about things as the topics emerge within conversation.
Also, I'm from Puerto Rico so if you want to learn more about the island: let me know.
I’m currently learning German and other languages from Northern Europe (like Norwegian and Danish) so I would love to get to practice.
