Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to travel as far and wide as I can and to collect some good stories (and fluent Spanish) along the way.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and studied Commercial Photography at Appalachian State. I lived in Denver, Colorado for 6 years and had a myriad of jobs from the cannabis industry to motorcycle mechanic apprentice, and odd jobs between. I enjoy riding motorcycles, backpacking, and learning more about the World around me.
PHILOSOPHY
If it’s not a “fu*k yes”, it’s a “no” for me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that traveling is the best education anyone can ever have. A more genuine travel experience includes meeting locals for full immersion. And saving $$ on hotels is great too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted a handful of couchsurfers and am proud to say that I'm friends with all of them!
I’ve surfed about 3/4 times now and I’m always impressed at receiving the same kind of generosity that I gave as a host.
