Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I carry the heart of the Caribbean with me wherever I go. My journey took me to Paraguay as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and now I’ve planted roots in Oregon, where I continue to grow as a passionate advocate for human rights.

I’m a beautiful Afro-Latine, trans masc, nonbinary, godly human who finds joy in movement, whether that’s hiking through forests, dancing in queer spaces, or just getting my body to feel alive. I love trying new things and expanding the way I connect with the world.

I’m outgoing and vibrant, though I often find deeper connection and comfort in smaller, more intentional spaces. When things get loud or overwhelming, I tend to get quiet, but my presence is always grounded in authenticity and care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people, and hearing about their lives. I’m trying to be more outgoing and social, and this feels like a great way to connect in a real, human way.

Also, I’m not a fan of capitalism, so finding ways to share resources and build community just makes sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done is choosing to live as my true self. It has taken a lot of courage and self-reflection, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

From hiking Machu Picchu to getting to know myself more honestly, I’ve learned that amazing things aren’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, they’re quiet milestones in becoming who you’re meant to be.

Also, once I stopped traffic to help a cat get a can off its head, so I guess you could say I’m out here saving lives too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always down to learn, whether it’s new words in a language, someone’s story, or how a culture expresses itself. I’ve been learning pole dance and bachata to move through the world with more joy and confidence.

I love sharing what I know with others, because knowledge shouldn’t be hoarded. If something’s helped me feel more free, why wouldn’t I want to pass that on?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my enthusiastic and adventurous self, a curious mind that asks lots of questions, and a genuine interest in learning about you and your world. I love to cook (and try new things!), so I’m always down to share a meal, a story, or a spontaneous adventure.
