I want to go anywhere in the world I haven't been. I am fascinated by different cultures and I always try to immerse myself in my cultural surroundings. Traveling is a spiritual experience for me. I am open-minded and I love to learn. I will try almost anything once. Hay que aprovechar la oportunidad!

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING ME A COUCH REQUEST:

*I do not host anyone without references. If you are new to CS, that's awesome! Get to some local events and meet people in your area to get some references. You probably already have friends on CS who could leave you a reference. Ask around.

*If you are traveling with other people, they each must have a completed CS profile with references. I will not host anyone without a CS profile. I don't need a couch request from each individual, but I'd like links to their profiles.

*If you would like to stay with me, please send me a COUCH REQUEST and not a regular message.

*Due to my grueling work schedule, I can host surfers for a maximum of 2 nights. I also can't honor any requests that are too far in advance because my work schedule always changes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a week in the Galapagos Islands. It is truly a unique place! Swimming with sharks and sea lions in the wild was an amazing and humbling experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Two of my biggest passions are teaching and learning. I have a lot to share and a lot to learn.
