CURRENT MISSION

To finish my first music album and design a show around it, using my travels as my insipiration.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a creative, easy-going guy. I can be a bundle of energy when I'm traveling but I don't mind chilling out either, catching up on writing or spending time photographing one thing. I can be a bit shy at first but I'll always find something to talk about with someone.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to keep a child-like enthusiasm and positivity towards life. I'm curious, driven, passionate and left-handed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to showing people around this gloriously strange city. You want a cafesito at 2am? You got it. Snorkeling off the coast? I'm there. The most exclusive thrift store and designer shopping in one day? Sign us up. There's plenty of random things to do here and I can show you where.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On one trip, I rode with a friend to Maine and I crashed on a couple of couches with her in her friends' houses along the way from Miami. They were some pretty neat people!

Interests

I love to talk beauty, fashion, art, music, design and other fun topics. Although I can also spend hours researching in a library or in a studio. I love traveling and meeting people from all over the world, learning about different cultures and walking the streets to get a feel of the city. My favorite thing to do when I first go to a new city is go to a coffee shop, grab the local papers and see what there is to do. It's always an adventure! When I travel I like to do:
outdoors (hiking, rafting, bicycling)
artistic (take photo and/or video, write)
cultural (art/history/offbeat museums, the ballet, theater, opera)
and finding great spots to try local food and drink.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once was able to get myself into fashion week and photograph the backstage of a fashion show in New York. Another time, I did hair for the B-52's, that was pretty awesome. Oh, and the most recent thing I did that was make soap out of my own lipo fat for an art piece. Pretty weird/cool, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use beauty products and tools, change your look, design a cool Halloween costume. Oh, and I can teach you Music (piano is my expertise) or Spanish if you're interested?
