Hello, my name is Kevin and I am a student at California State University, Long Beach. I am from Southern California. I am a Mexican-American. I am currently studying abroad in Venezia, Italia. I am always up for meeting new people and to learn things from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard its a great way to meet new people and to gain new experiences. I heard it is also a great way to travel when you are on a budget. I also think that locals know the best of what is in town than anyone.

Interests

I love sports; baseball, football, basketball, and sometimes even soccer (futbol, calcio, etc). I am a sociology major, I love to meet people in their environment and be able to appreciate different cultures. I love traveling and sightseeing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love many types of music (I may not be familiar with bands and song names, but I appreciate all forms of music). I believe it just depends on the mood I am in. My favorite movie is probably The Boondocks Saints and anything with Denzel Washington. I have many books that I love. As a child I enjoyed Harry Potter. Books that make my top list are The Great Gatsby, Under the Blood Red Sun, The Power of One, and Of Mice and Men.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hope this trip around Europe will trump all things I've done... but I think being able to go to a foreign country, adapt, try to communicate in a different language, and meeting people from all over the world has to be the most amazing thing I have done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I hope I can offer them as much information I can about not only American culture but also of Mexican-American culture. I can also cook Mexican food if the items are available.
