About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Obviously.. since I've joined Couch Surfing is to see the World...

ABOUT ME

I'm an American. I'm 25 and living in Philadelphia, PA. I love it and I also love to travel as well.. hence me joining Couch Surfing. I like music, sports, the outdoors, snowboarding, reading, good food and wine, going out.. etc. Lots of stuff really. Hope to go skydiving some day.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow.. umm.. let's see.. the carpe diem "seize the day" philosophy best describes me. I hate the feeling of feeling as if i'm missing out on something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will try and host anyone coming to Philadelphia.. Maximum 2 unless the others don't mind sleeping on the floor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Member for a year and have had seven different guests from all over: France, USA, Australia, Belgium. Well, ok only those four places but hey give me time. And I actually have not ever stayed on anyone else´s couch yet but hope to soon. Pues ya esta!

Music, Movies, and Books

Tarantino movies, rock music, a little house music as well.. this is taking too long. I like something when i come across it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still, the most thrilling thing I've done in my life was whitewater rafting down the upper Gauley river in WV, USA. As far as most amazing thing I've seen.. the city of Amsterdam enchanted me the first time I visited it and i´ve been back twice since then. (No it didn´t enchant me because of its lax marijuana laws) La Alhambra here in Granada is the most beautiful manmade structure I've ever soon. New York City is another absolutely amazing place to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned more about myself and my own culture from traveling than I knew beforehand. Traveling opens the eyes like nothing else. I wish there was a requirement to live abroad for three months for every person from every country. We would have much more sensitive viewpoints.
