About Me

My friends would probably say I'm social, outgoing, colorful, vibrant, kind, loyal, adaptable, and fun!

I look for things to celebrate in everyday experiences, and try to learn something new from every person I meet.

I LOVE the Caribbean & my Latin roots and am actively learning Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing...what a FAB way to meet new people AND have a cozy place to stay while away from home! I'd prefer your couch to a generic hotel room any day.

I'm a single working mama AND in nursing school, so...the price is right, too. 😀

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first thing that comes to mind is giving a natural waterbirth to my son in 2012! Amazing, empowering, & primal!!

Summiting the Pasturori glacier in Perú was kinda cool, too, I guess. 😀

Teach, Learn, Share

!Déjame practicar mi Español contigo!! Mi familia es puertorriqueña, pero no lo hablábamos en casa cuando era niña.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to cook for you, take your dog on a walk, or be your companion for any fun activities/outings! OR…I can bring you a bottle of Asheville's finest wild-yeast craft beer :)
