If I can't do it, I'll learn and teach you how! As they say, "The best way to learn is to teach!"

PHILOSOPHY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister and I recently took a trip through the Netherlands couch-surfing and had the most rewarding experience a couch-surfer could have! This is such a great project and I look forward to hosting fellow travelers when I return to my home country!

Interests

I like to think I have the spirits of Benjamin Franklin & Leonardo Da Vinci living inside of me. I'm an inventor, musician, and businessman. I also love to dance Salsa & Bachata, BAILAMOS! I spend my time trying to speak foreign languages as much as possible, singing with friends, and learning learning learning! Let's have a skillshare!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the two years I lived in Rome, I've only once to been to the Trevi Fountain completely alone as in my two friends and I were the ONLY people there. It was 3am on a Tuesday and it was awesome. I couldn't believe it was real.

The first time I played a concert with my little Tabla+Guitar duo "Raja", I was SO full of energy after I wanted to run up the walls! I want to preform more, what a feeling!

Anytime I'm laying beneath a meteor shower everything comes into perspective and I remember we're just a speck in the universe, so why not be a loving speck to all!

Teach, Learn, Share

"You can get anything you want out of life, if you help enough other people get what they want."

This doesn't mean you should only do things for people if they do things for you. Do whatever you can for anyone, and when a time comes, and YOU are in need, the universe will provide. CS follows this logic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Non-stop conversation about most anything. See my above "crash-courses" in many things from Salsa Dancing to Web Development, I also help people who are looking for direction in their careers, new job prospects etc. I have a wide network and love helping people.
