Overview
About Me
Road tripping through Mexico with my brother! Hit me up if you have any recommendations or a place to stay :)
I love inspiring others to follow their bliss, which in turn fulfills my own. I live for traveling, late-night conversations and moments of intense clarity or intoxication.
Born a traveler, my childhood was split between the countries of Venezuela, Mexico, Honduras, and the USA. So I have no idea "where I am from."
"The greatest pleasure in life is doing that which you are told you cannot do."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once swam an epic 18cm race against 250 million other potential people and came out as the champion. *Winner for life!*
19 years later I organized and led a 2 month medical brigade to the mountains of central Honduras. This endeavor included 35+ staff and provided much needed medical care to 2500+ farmers living in remote villages. It was one of the most challenging and wonderful seasons of my life....Yada Yada Ya....
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share a different perspective on the questions we are all asking in life,
a unique set of experiences and stories,
and a new friendship.
Latino food is my specialty. However, I am getting better at Middle-eastern and Italian recipes. So let me know if you want to try something new! I hate cooking for just myself, but love an excuse to cook for others, so let me have the joy of whipping up something delicious (or at least edible) for you!
What I Can Share with Hosts
-A lovely couch and my time if you ever desire to visit the USA or Israel in the future.
-I'm not bad in the kitchen, so if you would be so kind as to point me towards a local grocery store I would be more than happy to cook you a meal!
-Also, depending on which location I am traveling from, I can pick up and bring any local foods or alcohol you might be craving from there.
