CURRENT MISSION

Become a citizen of the world, promote social justice, and build (figurative) bridges!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty normal, hard-working, guy living in Taipei. Born and raised in Florida...born to Cuban parents. Been living in Taiwan for four years.

PHILOSOPHY

The harm principle. Do what makes you happy as long as you don't harm anyone (or yourself). I can be pretty self-sacrificing...am trying to work on that and think of myself too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am up for coffee, drinks, or showing people around while visiting the great city of Taipei! May be able to host at times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Made a friend for life while surfing in Mexico City.

Interests

For fun I like to read, watch movies, walk around the city, visit parks, or watch sports! I'm also addicted to texting my friends and family. I love to travel and hope to have 50 countries visited by age 50. Learning Chinese (Mandarin).

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes, yes, yes! Love movie, music, and books. I'm always reading something...just finished Snowflower and the Secret Fan, Sarah's Key, Lovely Bones, Oracle Bones, Angela's Ashes, 'Tis, and Teacher Man to name a few. I love country music but listen to a little of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew in a biplane. Was in the Marines. Been to Venice. Drove the entire U.S. west coast...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with English and Spanish (and would love to learn other languages). I juggle and can teach you. Also, I am very good at walking with a cup of coffee. It's amazing. I never spill. I can teach you that too! And my Chinese is getting pretty good...
