About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I decided to leave my job in San Francisco and start my own travel company - www.hastacuba.com where I create incredible experiences for people in Cuba. I am currently working remote and traveling from Mexico down to Colombia.

ABOUT ME

I like to travel with very little plans and let life take me by surprise.
I have had a pleasure of traveling all over Latin America and have fallen in love with countless cities.
I graduated with a degree in Business Administration.

I am a fun out going guy who genuinely likes to make people laugh and have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about the connections you make. You leave a mark where ever you go so i try and leave the best memories that i am capable of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couchsurfed in many countries around the world and have had a number of unforgettable experiences.some highlights are

Making an Italian meal in Bologna, Italy
Rock climbing outside of Granada, Spain
Teaching some couchsurfers how to surf
Going to a hip hop show in Seattle
Playing drinking games in Vancouver

Interests

I like to Surf, Rock Climb and Mountain bike. I really enjoy cooking and making dinner with friends. There is not much better bonding then doing an extreme sport with someone then sitting down for some beers and barbecue.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge fan of live music in all forms, whether it is a drum circle in the streets, a guitar around the fire, a rap battle in a bar, or a giant music festival. I am open to it all. Music makes the world go around.

I enjoy movies but have significantly reduced how much I spend watching tv. I had made an active decision to spend more time reading then watching movies.

As far as books go I am generally open to everything. Lately I have been very inspired by reading biographies on influential people in business and adventure.

Some of my favorite books of all time are Shantaram, The alchemist and The Aleph by Paulo Coehlo, Ishmael.
I just read "let my people surf" the story of how the company Patagonia started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked with orphans in Peru at a surf camp.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you how to make a delicious Salsa like my mom taught me.

I am open to learn anything. You are never to old to learn something new.

Let us share some beers, laughs and a meal
