ABOUT ME

I'm a Cuban, Texan, New Yorker currently living in Los Angeles.
My Cuban family taught me how to love.
My Texas roots taught me how to have a good time.
My time spent in New York taught me to have an open mind.
And my move to Los Angeles has taught me to never stop learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled to Fiji and New Zealand with my friend Daria, who has been talking about CouchSurfing for about a year. It was an incredible experience and it saddens me that I am just now learning about it after all the traveling I have already done. The best part of traveling, for me, is meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I'm excited to be getting involved!

Interesses

Hollywood Dodgeball Champion!! (that's me), organizing events (parties, dinners, trips to Disneyland), going to dive bars (that's where the best conversations happen), hiking, dancing, biking... pretty much anything outdoors.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Helped build two houses in Lampang, Thailand. Can't even describe the feelings I felt at the donation ceremony. I will never forget their beautiful faces.

Fell in love in Ireland.

Camped out for three days in the rain at the V Festival in England. Simply the most fun three days of my life. Hands down.

Ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Gave a commencement speech at Radio City Music Hall in New York City for School of Visual Arts Class of '06.

Met Dave Grohl and walked up to the stage with the Foo Fighters at a private party I snuck into in LA. Watched the show dancing next to Pat Smear.
