ABOUT ME
"No soy de aquí, ni soy de allá
no tengo edad, ni porvenir
y ser feliz es mi color
de identidad."
PHILOSOPHY
"Engage in love and cooking with reckless abandon."
I'm constantly asking questions about why i do the things I do and why I feel the things I feel. I crave to understand the world. Interacting with others' experiences and ideas (through conversation, music, movies, and books) is my constant source of nourishment, happiness, and growth...
We should not be afraid to follow our own sources of nourishment, happiness, and growth. We should challenge anything that holds us back.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I got involved in Couchsurfing three years ago when I was living in Ireland. Explored pubs with the meet-ups, met some travelers passing through, and surfed a bit in mainland Europe. Couchsurfing is my favorite community in Atlanta and I've loved finally being in a space where I can host. I've met loads of interesting people and have been astonished by the generosity and openness that I've found.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm always amazed by people/communities that are able to create meaning and beauty out of suffering.
I lived one summer in Guatemala hearing the stories of immigrants and refugees from all over latin america.
I lived in a big house with volunteers from around the world and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to develop more wilderness skills. I love hiking/camping and anything outdoors, and I'm currently wanting to learn more about mountaineering and rock climbing.
I can teach you things about music - especially lots of folk songs in different languages (old hobby). I'm fluent in Spanish and speak pretty good Italian.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Someone to go on adventures with. I will have lots of enthusiasm to learn about you, your life, and the place you call home. Love cooking for people. Making music.
