CURRENT MISSION

Ski and travel as much as possible before starting medical school this fall.

ABOUT ME
I'm a photographer, adventurer, and a National Geographic Young Explorer. I'm interested in documenting wild places, people, wildlife, and adventure. I'm from Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. I lived in West Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia for two years. I did an orangutan research project, where I documented the lives and ranging patterns of male orangutans outside the borders of the Cabang Panti research site at Gunung Palung National Park.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and traveling.

Interests

I enjoy being in the outdoors, exploring new places and learning about them. There is a glamour in traveling and exploring on your own, it makes you feel solace (otherwise known as the cooler brother of loneliness) - but it is an equally amazing experience (and often better) to share the love of travel with others.
