CURRENT MISSION

To travel to the places where the media tells me not to go, and have a conversation with people who are said to be my enemy

ABOUT ME

I have this old pair of sneakers that smell really bad.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay up, but keep your feet grounded

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point, I would say that I have surfed more than I have hosted, however, I feel that at this point it is time to give back o the community, and I would like to do that by hosting more of those who would like to see my city, Miami.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to couch surfing about two years ago when I found out that a close friend of mine in New York was going around sleeping on people's couches through a website. I thought he was crazy. I moved back to Miami and saw that another friend was hosting people at his own house. I thought he was even crazier. Then I started meeting these people, and without even knowing it, I was vicariously living the life of a couchsurfer. After meeting a whole group of people from all over the world, I realized that couchsurfing, even though the idea is crazy, is a great thing.

Interests

I like pretty much any sport, but my favorite is skateboarding (yes, it is a sport). Photography and film are my passion. I appreciate documenting time as an art. Fast cars and motorcycles too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After 27 years of living, I have done a lot and seen even more. This is a question better answered over a cold bottle of beer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am no more educated than anyone else that I may meet, I feel. I enjoy meeting people because whomever it may be always has something to offer. I have a relatively general knowledge of the world, but I am always interested in learning more. Being born in Miami, however, I have seen this city grow and can tell stories that are undocumented and cannot be found in a dictionary or atlas.
