About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through my eyes and others, to meet others and help them find whatever it is that they are looking for. To have fun! I think you only live once so carpe diem!

ABOUT ME

I work in Cambridge, Ma USA. I'm a part time writer full time security guard. I'm a basketball, games and reading enthusiast

I won't be able to host you currently but I can meet up as a tour guide of sorts. If I've already hosted you or you have hosted me I'll probably be able to host you but I don't have the time for new surfers.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people how you want to be treated. I want to add value to the world.

My friend had me sign up and I've been traveling and hosting since.

I work in Harvard yard and know all that history shiz.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Pariris and that was amazing because my host was a stand up guy who showed me around town. Def surf Alexei.
I hosted a few people who have been incredibly fun. I drove down with Lya to the cape and visited some museums. Crashed a house party with another surfer and other memories too numerous to mention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my trip to Valencia, Spain I was caught in a 14 hour downpour. Parts of the city were flooded and as a result I fell into a moat and got completely soaked. I asked for help from my friend but instead he took a picture of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook! Things that I know how to make really well are:
The worlds best guacamole- trust me its good
Aloo Gobi- Indian Dish made of patatoes, cauliflour, garam masala and other spices.
Eggplant Parmesan. Unfortunately not as good as an old Italian woman.
Cuban rice and black beans

I can teach you math and how to do logic puzzles. I'm pretty good at Poker and other games.

I know Spanish so I can answer vocabulary questions but don't ask me about the future imperfect whatever the hell you call them, my knowledge is inherited.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, language and stories. I like to tell them. Maybe not well but people are generally pleased.

Countries I’ve Visited

Barbados, Dominican Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Spain, United States, Venezuela

Countries I’ve Lived In

Puerto Rico, United States
