I am a person that has a very open mind, I am very respectful, likes to have fun, I am easy going and love the rush that I feel from the adventures that I encounter on all my trips…Traveling is my passion!!!!
I am an Engineer by trade and earned an BSEE from NJIT in New Jersey but got saturated with corporate America and decided to return to Miami where my family lives. Now believe that my free time as a traveler is more important and basically retired.
Love the outdoors but also like to party and try to live every day to the fullest. Tomorrow doesn’t exist….

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been traveling all over the world and wanted to find out how to get around via Couchsurfing learning about their community and sharing new opportunities and experiences with locals and fellow travelers.
I realized that MOMENTS are more important than PLACES and want to share more time with the locals.
Looking for volunteer opportunities and welcome challenges to directly help the needed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things, teach and help people and share moments with new people from different countries and cultures all over the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My personal experiences as a traveler, share times together laughing and getting to know each other better also can help with expenses, doing maintenance helping fix things around the house or volunteering with local community.
