I am Guatemalan-Jamaican. I am a curious design-thinker who works to make positive impacts wherever I go.

I enjoy exploring new places and meeting new people because these experiences teach me to appreciate the difference between cultures and obtain knowledge that you can't find in a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be an explorer of the world. I I believe everyone we meet leaves a mark in our lives, therefore I
am interested in meeting new people from different cultures, and make new friends to share a little bit of my story and learn from theirs.
