About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Life with no boundaries- going against the grain and doing things that most "normal" people consider impossible to accomplish. I want to live freely and create my own definition of success by focusing on my passion for traveling and empowering pple.

ABOUT ME

I am 29 years old, of Latin decent, free spirited and non-judgmental. I tend to make pple feel open and comfortable with who they are. I have a outgoing free spirit, a little sassy with sarcastic humor. I have 2 dogs and my family belongs to a tribe (literally with over 80 uncles and aunts- you can imagine the rest of the chain). I enjoy change and challenges and im extremely passionate. I am a leo and a cancer (I was born on the cusp) but now with the recent astrological changes I am not sure anymore. Lol. I enjoy meeting pple and sharing our cultural differences.

PHILOSOPHY

Let’s see, a little about me. I’m 29 years old, going on 40 and I am fixated in my pursuit of inspiration and freedom, tired of living other people’s dreams and determined to create my own destiny. If I don’t press pause soon and take a deep look at all the beautiful things life has to offer, I am going to regret it all and this isn’t something that I am willing to accept. Sounds familiar?
Since graduation I have spent a huge part of my working career around event production, promotions, managing and execution working within the Entertainment, Media, Sales and Music Industries neglecting so many other career passions. Sadly, my many interest range from a broad spectrum of fields and have no clear direction; this has made it extremely difficult to define my path. My natural calling was to join the Peace Corp and work with people on a global level on service like duties empowering and educating our societies. Needless to say, “plan A” didn’t exactly plan as anticipated, which is why I would love to embrace this opportunity and attempt discover and fulfill my passion, all while bonding with other cultures and ethnicities, interviewing various professionals, creating new meaningful experiences and exploring new foreign territories.
I consider myself to be very diverse; my musical selection, my circle of friends, my yearning for being immersed in different cultures and lifestyles and embracing new ways of life and thought processes are things that have allowed me to keep an open mind. I want to make each day of my life count by utilizing the things that I love the most, combined with those that are unfamiliar to me. Being challenged by living outside my comfort level is what I am searching for; this allows me to continue growing. Traveling, sightseeing, inspiring and being inspired by people and random encounters with strangers are all things that I enjoy. I like the feeling of waking up and not knowing what my day will pan out to be, this is what keeps life fresh and makes it worth living. I am addicted to change and enjoy challenges; the more I soak up the workforce, the more challenging it becomes to accomplish just this. Inspiration is my key motive, and how I choose to live life as well as inspire and challenge people to change their lives and to do something outside of their norm is what I strive for. My persistence, drive and passion are all things that have led me to this defining moment… the moment where I decide that I will not live life the same way and change is needed. My desire for freedom, creativity and my sense of resourcefulness will allow me to keep my eye on the goal and eventually get there. Not sure where that is, but I am ready for self-exploration!!! I feel that I am ready to move forward and embark on a true discovery. Are you ready for my journey? I am….

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I come with a wealth of knowledge and would be willing to assist and direct people to their unfulfilled questions and request when possible. I believe that we are all here on this planet to help people achieve their goals and learn from one another. I am hoping that pple can learn from me as I have learned from others and expect to learn from future encounters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Santorini- sunsets-- Ive never seen so many hues of colors in my life. breath taking

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I hope that I can educate others of my Latino heritage and culture. Latinos are probably one of the most passionate pple in the world. My country, that my family is from is Puerto Rico- La Isla de Encante- the food is delicious, the pple are warm and the island is beautiful. I also studied women studies and feel that i can empower woman to be stronger creatures as we need to stick together to propel one another to be better pple.

Learn/Share: I am sponge ready to soak. Any words of wisdom... I am completely open.
