(I'm so sorry travelers. Right now I'm spending the winter in Puerto Rico. Coming back to NYC between March or April.)

Who I am?
I am a puertorrican transplanted to New York City. I’m supporting a self artistic project as a performer infront The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. My home is a tiny studio. I know that a lot of people around the world are interesting to visit our caothic and neurotic city. It’s expensive just to find a decent space to live. My location is pretty centric. Near by the 2, 4 and 5 trains, Hostos Community College, Bronx Postal Office, Lincoln Hospital, Pregones Theatre and Harlem (West Side and East Side as well) I’m offering a room, hot water and a shared bathroom. Why? I’ll be traveling soon. All we need is a cultural exchanged. Almost two years ago I was the front page of the New York Times. Find my article online: A statue Stirs to Life in Washington Square Park written by Michael Wilson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
