My PASSION is to travel, to learn foreign languages and about different cultures, and to DANCE!

One day I'd like to have the freedom to live anywhere, the skillset to benefit and help grow my community, and the means to provide for those I love and be of service to those in need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The couchsurfing community has saved my butt a number of times. I love this website and this community. I hope one day to have a space where I can consistently host. In the meantime I'll continue using the website as a means to connect with incredible people around the world and share in any way I can!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of all genre's really, though particularly love and find myself listening to all the time, hip hop, salsa, bachata, reggaeton, and zouk.

Me gustan todos los géneros la verdad, pero siempre me encuentro escuchando hip hop, salsa, bachata, reggaeton, y zouk.

I hardly ever have the time to watch movies:( it's a shame.

Apenas tengo tiempo para ver películas:( es una lástima.

A few books I've enjoyed are: Viaje a Ixtlan, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and every book by Sam Harris.
