CURRENT MISSION

Working in Phoenix, my hometown! Traveling when I have the time - Traveling through others when I do not! I would love to hear your stories and hang out!

Trabajando en Phoenix! Viajando cuando yo tenga el tiempo - Viajando a través de otros cuando yo no lo tenga! Me gustaría oír tus historias y pasar tiempo contigo!

ABOUT ME

Active - love to play soccer. I like to run/bike around to explore. Work hard / play hard. I try to travel in some way whenever I can (of course, that's why I'm on CS!). I want to visit every U.S. state and be fluent in Spanish. I strive to break free from the quiet, introverted engineer stereotype. Always down to try new things. Very friendly, respectful, and easy to get along with.

visited 35 states (70%) and 21 countries.

Working on it!

Soy áctivo - me gusta mucho jugar al fútbol. Me gusta correr/ir en bicicleta para explorar. Yo trabajo mucho y disfruto mucho también. Trato de viajar en qualquier manera cuando yo pueda (por supuesto, eso es la razón que participo en CouchSurfing). Quiero visitar todos los estados de los estados unidos y hablar español con fluidez. Trato de liberarme del tranquilado, introvertido estereotipo de los ingenieros. Siempre me gustaría probar cosas nuevas. Soy amiable, respetuoso, y fácil para llevar. Si hablas español, me gustaría practicar contigo!

PHILOSOPHY

"Try to learn something about everything and everything about something."
"Trato de aprender algo sobre todo y todo sobre algo."

"I am not everybody."
"No soy todos."

Work hard, play hard.
Trabajar mucho, disfrutar mucho.

Get out and experience foreign cultures, but don't forget to experience your own culture and country!

Experimenta otras culturas, pero no pierdas sobre su propia cultura.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Learn and share perspective. Open my house to others as so many others have done so for me. Make friends around the world.

Aprender y compartir perspectivo. Abrir mi casa a otros como tantos otros han hecho para mi. Hacer amigos en todas partes del mundo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted during my travels in Europe, South America, Central America, Puerto Rico and across the United States. Always amazing stories! No better way to experience a place than with a local. I want to do as the locals do (especially if it involves eating and local drink), and not strictly be a tourist. Who else is going to take you to that hole-in-the-wall restaurant or the secret beach with the perfect waves away from all the tourists? Thank you to all my fantastic hosts! If you're ever passing through Phoenix, Arizona, let me know.

He estado alojado durante mis viajes en europa, sudamérica, centroamérica, puerto rico y a través de los estados unidos. Siempre cuentos increíbles! No hay mejor manera para experimentar un lugar que con un lugareño. Quiero hacer como hacen los lugareños (especialmente si hay comida y bebidas locales). Gracias a todos mis anfitriones! Por favor, dime si estñ pasando por Arizona!
