ABOUT ME

Soy un perdedor. I have a big imagination and I'm not afraid to use it. It's hard to make me not like you.

PHILOSOPHY

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I'm just a surfer, but I potentially could host if the weekend is right. I also really like to meet people if they're coming to Boston.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch-surfed in Annapolis, Barcelona and Brussels and had fantastic experiences in all three cities. I absolutely love the concept of couch surfing and would love to host or meet up with some travelers myself!

Interests

Eating pretty much anything, binging on TV shows while I eat everything, coming up with creative strategies for advertising campaigns, listening to all kinds of music, going to music festivals, drinking wine, writing short stories, coming up with the next great horror film, abstract expressionism, traveling to places unexplored (by me).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend and I hopped the gate of the Louvre at 2 in the morning and enjoyed some macaroons by the glass pyramid. The security guard kindly asked us to leave after a while, but that was one crazy amazing thing I did while in Paris! Another amazing thing: feeding, petting, and riding the elephants in Sri Lanka.

Teach, Learn, Share

First off, elephants love bananas. Second off, eat the food. Eat ALL of the food. Unless it's not supposed to be undercooked or is molding/stale, then you don't have to eat the food. Third off, sometimes the most unexpected things make for the most unforgettable experiences. And lastly, alligator jerky is BOMB.
