I am 23 years old and currently living in Madrid. I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala but moved to the US when I was 2 years old. I grew up in Southern California but moved when my family got sick of the traffic some years later. We decided to pack up again and headed towards the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I would grow up and catch the travel bug in this wonderful state which I will always consider my home base. Then, in December of 2014 I graduated from the University of Colorado. Unsure of what to do next, I figured why not travel for a bit. I ended up living in Chile for 4 months and had an absolutely amazing experience. After that, I was certain that I needed to travel a lot more since I only saw a sliver (literally) of the world. I made Europe my next destination and have absolutely loved it and don't plan on leaving any time soon!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Interessi

I absolutely love playing basketball (my skills say otherwise), listening to music, reading, watching films, eating al fresco, talking and getting to know people, international development, philosophy, dancing, wandering around cities, and experiencing a city's nightlife.
