From Puerto Rico, current grad student, pretty chill and enjoy meeting new people over some beers.

Pretty simple: I love the academic life, so I'm studying to hopefully work in some great projects and teach one day at a college/university level. I try to spend as much time as possible with family and friends and make new ones though out this life.

Education is important and although I appreciate it at an academic level I have learned so much that can not be taught inside of a classroom, it can be learned only through experience, either by traveling, living in a different country or meeting people from different backgrounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A couple of friends have hosted and been hosted on Couchsurfing & I've helped out taking some of those couch surfers around Puerto Rico & Salamanca. I thought it's about time I opened up my own account :)

Interests

Learn as much as I can, do as many road trips as I can, and enjoy some beers ... all with great company.

Used to be a Venture so I love everything outdoors: Beaches, Trails, Rivers, Biking...

Respect is essential, live and let live...

I have genuinely met people who have changed my life... more than any musician, writer or any other type of artist ever will. It has made me believe in the beauty that exists in this world even though it can be heart breaking at times...
