I have lived in Cuenca, Ecuador for seven years. I moved here from Santa Barbara, California U.S. I am part owner of a specialty coffee processing and exporting company. I try to help refugees in Cuenca, especially the Venezuelans. I practice yoga and meditation. I don't do drugs or alcohol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am participating as a host not as a guest. Although i have many friends, i live alone and believe it would be fun from time to time to share my beautiful home with adventurous people.
