About Me

I am a banker and social entrepreneur who loves to travel and wishes to share all the beautiful things my country Panama has to offer. I am currently wrapping up my MBA in May 2016.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just came back from a trip to Turkey, UAE, Jordan, and Egypt. I traveled by myself and it would have been great to have been a part of the coach surfing community to have a knowledgeable coach and move around better, safer, and cheaper. I decided to join this growing community and be a coach and a couch for someone else visiting my beloved Panama. I also own an Uber vehicle that can help out wit any transportation needs at a reasonable price.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteer work to develop a soccer school in one of Panama's at-risk sites to diminish the violence little kids in vulnerable communities have to endure. Through free soccer classes we would entice them to go to our workshops and teach new or strengthen their existing values.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Panamanian slang, Panamanian beer, and Panamanian prices.
Learn: As much as possible from any couch surfer visiting.
Share: Safety tips, best restaurants, and a good glass of whisky.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It is more than just showcasing the Panama Canal. It is about sharing the unique and inherent culture of Panamanians. Where they eat, shop, and like to go on their spare time during holidays.
