About Me

Venezuelan-born, Miami-raised, and now a current Durhamite living it up in the south.

As a traveler, I love to eat as much as possible, wander like a local, and have deep conversations. When I remember, I take some photos.

Side note: though I've had a CS account for a while, I've never used it until now! So if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet travelers and locals, and support community's building their own network independent of major corporate influences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm afraid of the deep sea, but I went on a sailboat trip with partner off the coast of South Florida. We got caught in a thunderstorm and my adrenaline just kicked it up to another level as we needed to continue sailing in the right direction. After being drenched, feeling cold, and somewhat traumatized, the sky cleared up and I saw one of the most beautiful blue horizons I'd ever experienced. It was worth the fear.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wanna learn some basic photography/video lessons? Or, how to slightly deviate from a recipe while still making it taste great? How about improving your Spanish skills? Maybe you were curious to know what urban planning is...If so, I'll be happy to share all of this knowledge with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can:
1. Great conversations
2. Cook--if you give me an hour or two, it'll be really good, I promise
3. Treat you to a dinner experience to a place you've been really wanting to go for a while
4. Clean your space if needed
5. Grab drinks around the city/town
6. Respect your space
