CURRENT MISSION

I just graduated and I am trying to learn and to travel and to grow.

ABOUT ME

I spend my time between South Florida and Brooklyn, New York City, and have all of my life. It is hard for me to write about myself. Right now, I feel as though I've still a limited view of the world. I have to see more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined, but I promise, one day I will have a couch for anybody who wants to stay in what I still believe to be the greatest city in the world (New York!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at my friend's house in Amsterdam - I did not meet him through couch surfing but through a mutual friend, but it was still a couch surfing experience. Two other girls ended up couch surfing at his place and we explored the city together. It was enriching to meet all these people with whom I initially had one thing in common (the residence in which we were staying); we ended up learning a lot from each other.

Interests

I like to write, ride my bike, go to shows...I love the New York City subway system, the ocean (especially sea creatures) and learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My mother's hometown in Puerto Rico: I almost fell down a huge hill, listened to coquís...It was very beautiful and I want to go back.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think what I can teach and share and learn will best be revealed upon my own growth; I will try to learn from everyone as much as I can (I am sure I will without trying, actually) and in turn they will learn too. I want to learn the nuances of my fellow human beings, what they love, what makes them tick; such qualities will then change in me, I think.
