When I'm traveling I enjoy getting out where the locals are and hang, have some drinks and engage in great conversations. I do very well outside my comfort zone and can adapt in any situation. Of course I love to see all the sights but most I enjoy is the being around locals; learning traditions, culture , language and traditional cuisine or the current local contemporary food trend. I like visiting new restaurants and enjoying great food from budget to extravagant it's all about the experience for me. 07/2018- relocated from Los Angeles to Colorado! I accepted a promotion here in Denver. It’s exciting to be here! https://www.instagram.com/chieftain_leodeo/?hl=en

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To build new experiences and connections with people I cross paths with and build lifelong friendships throughout my travels. I never thought I would ever be in a position to travel the world growing up and now I'm fulfilling my wanderlust I knew I always had. Depending how my experience works out this, I may be willing to open my home to lend a place to stay. I would also love to hang out with travelers if you are visiting the Los Angeles area, I can help guiding you through the city.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Solo trip to Iceland & Amsterdam without knowing anyone in either place. But, I guess this is what it's all about; to set foot connecting and creating experiences with others to remember.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach? I'm a Maintenance Engineer with a mechanical background. I can build, repair things and possibly can give tips or just lend a hand to help. Learn? I'm currently learning Icelandic- I'm sure you're wondering why? I can also share many stories and would love to hear stories of travels, experiences and all things that come about in life.

Ha! I could cook a good meal if needed. I have a passion for cooking, I enjoy learning new cuisines, recipes and cooking for others.
