About Me

Adventuring the world one country at a time. I am in love with the open road and the many adventures that await. My passion for travel is only rivaled by my passion for cooking healthy food, fitness (martial arts), music and being in nature with the animals. Here to make lifetime friends with the people that I meet, and to always learn something new. Born in Ecuador, and now United States is my home, near the windy city of Chicago!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in a world without borders. Here, we get to meet people who from the kindness of their hearts, let us into their homes and that is a great way to start a true friendship.
