About Me

Stateside cultivated and Latin brewed. I have grown in the land of the beautiful mountains filled with coffee and can't wait to see all the amazing splendors others have to offer. I consider myself quite the sociable person while sharing stories, photos, and adventures with hopefully a beer to share in between. Huge nature fanatic who is obsessed with escaping to the outdoors on a constant basis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing exists as a possibility of exploring new places, where making friends is an even better opportunity along the way by sharing with new people. Allowing for a more personal perspective on where I'm staying.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big indie devotee for bands such as The Strokes, The XX, and Radiohead but I love my special dose of hip-hop. Honestly, most songs that have a through in smooth baseline in combination with the perfect synths, are more than welcome to come on the ride.

A small obsession with Mr. Anderson would be least to say, going from the range of Rushmore to Mr. Fox, these types of aesthetics are the perfect trance. Can't deny me a sci-fi immersed film, love for these types of movies.

The discovery of the Kindle was the best encounter that I have had with an inanimate object, books have quite the extended range. Right now I'm on a dystopian fantasy binge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lost in Public Transportation in the Bay Area, turned up in the Haight-Ashbury district, the birthplace of the hippie movement, immediately dove into the scene and lost myself through the metropolitan park.

Travelling throughout Mexico for a couple of weeks, going from the main city to all the country side, fell instantly in love with the beautiful and colorful city of Guanajuato.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach those who are unaware of Latin-American culture or may have a limited exposure, for which I will be able to share my perspectives and personal experiences, exchanging ideas and thoughts are the perfect means for growing.

As I'm also a photography lover, I love sharing my photography views and being able to learn through others lenses as well. Thoughts and ideas are more than welcome for my growth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideas on how to travel on budgets throughout Latin American. I believe I have an eye for cuisine, being able to collaborate in the kitchen or proposing certain meals would be more than perfect by my person. And just a general breath of fresh air to be around.
