I am an English teacher by profession and love to teach. I am over 40, single, and love to cook, write, read, and share information. I was born in Puerto Rico but grew up in the United States, and definitely have a passionate side when it comes to many things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I began traveling 15 years ago I have met so many amazing people. I have even stayed at their homes, ate dinner with their families, and made long lasting friends. Couch surfing is what I have been doing and hopefully we can meet and continue this journey together.

Interests

Traveling the world has introduced me to so many friendly and interesting people. I have written some books, and care about teaching. So many times my faith in humanity has been fortified by the most loving and caring people from all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I love any kind of music from everywhere in the world. From hip hop to techno, from jazz to classical. My favorite author since I was a child has been Edgar Allen Poe. JRR Tolkien is amazing also. It's hard to name my favorite movies but I love Sci Fi/ Adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is go to the top of the World Trade Center before they fell.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching my profession, so helping spread knowledge is key for me. Learning new languages and cultures is definitely a passion for me as well. Sharing my life and listening to other people's thoughts intrigued me since childhood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an amazing cook and listener. Also being a teacher I can offer language exchange. I love to clean and make people happy, being a natural giver.
