About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Master's!

ABOUT ME

Ah well saying all about me isn't easy...but for who is it not? I was born and raised in Miami, with a Mexican father and a Colombian mother. I visit both countries often and love every aspect of it. I'm currently studying international relations/negotiation strategique. I am not sure exactly what I want to do with my life but I know that I'd like to include in it travel, languages, and making a difference even if its a small one (bit of a dreamer maybe? heh I'm sticking to it). I know that I have a lot to learn, something true not just for me but even for a man 70 years of age, and I welcome all kinds of knowledge.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm living this day like the next will never come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing my favorite spots in Paris =).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for the first time recently in Zurich, Switzerland and it was an amazing experience! We stayed with Umer at his apartment and he was a wonderful host who showed us around Zurich at night!

Interests

Obviously love travel! Love learning about new cultures and getting to know people. I love to dance, danced argentine tango professionally and salsa is my second love.

Favorite books would be Like Water for Chocolate, Da Vinci Code, The Heretic, and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe amazing things are seen everyday, corny as it may sound...from a baby's smile to the sunshine bouncing off of the trees on a spring day.

teach about my culture...learn about others...and share all the experiences which enrich all of us in one way or another! =)
