About Me

I'm a passionate explorer who thrives on human connection. Whether embarking on new adventures or sharing a coffee with a friend, people are the heartbeat of my experiences. My journey has led me to embrace diverse cultures and initiate heartwarming projects like hugging over 150 people in Mexico City. I believe in the transformative power of love and kindness, striving to make the world a more connected place, one interaction at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My mission is to bridge cultural divides and foster genuine human connections. Couchsurfing offers a platform to experience authentic social networking, where sharing stories and creating memories with people from all walks of life can lead to a more unified world. I aim to contribute to this global community by opening my home to travelers and seeking hosts who share this vision of cultural exchange and mutual respect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Mexico City, a group of friends and I decided to connect with our community in a simple yet meaningful way: offering hugs to strangers. Together, we shared this gesture with over 150 people. The experience profoundly changed how I see strangers, showing me that a small act of vulnerability can create a powerful connection. It also deepened my understanding of the power of touch as a universal way to bridge divides and foster empathy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a lifelong learner, eager to absorb knowledge from every encounter. I can discuss the nuances of human rights, and delve into deep conversations about religion and philosophy. I also enjoy teaching how acts of love and kindness can effect positive change in our world. Let's exchange stories, skills, and perspectives to enrich each other's lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I bring a spirit of camaraderie and respect. I can offer engaging conversations, share my experiences from various adventures, and perhaps cook a meal together—I'm known to whip up a decent spaghetti dinner. While I have a penchant for humor, including the occasional "yo-mama" joke, I always ensure it's in good taste and context. Above all, I aim to create a pleasant and memorable experience for my hosts, leaving their space as clean and welcoming as I found it.
