Alright, i'll admit it...I can be somewhat of a dork. But seriously, I love hanging out with the right people, those mid-day runs and cataloguing great quotes into my commonplace book. Originally, I'm from Los Angeles. Originally, my genes are from Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about this website way back when I took my first real travel (to Ecuador) and I became a bit lost in the country to make time for this website. Now that my journey in the Ecuadorian Andes Mountains is coming to an end, I'm stoked to go to Berkeley for college and explore every bit to the city there is! and just to make amigos...don't hesitate to reach out:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really like bragging, but if there's something that's made my mom & pop's proud it's been winning the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Gates Millennium Scholarship

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? I can offer a few things, but I'd love to learn more from you.
Learn? Whatever you have to offer haha, there's always something to learn from someone...
Share? The photos I take with my camera, the pages I write in my commonplace book and the memories we can make together (okay, that last one sounded cheesy-I know).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Same as up, right above. Additionally, I'm trying my best to get into the "Trading-culture" that I've become evident about that goes around the world.
