Overview
About Me
Every country I've been lucky to visit has ultimately left me with the same thought, "I wish I could some day live here". This seemed like wishful thinking since I was brought up thinking everything has to be so planned and insured before you even consider taking risks. However, I took a break from college about a year ago to work, I'm saving most of my money and learning to live frugally Puerto Rico. I discovered so many ways to have fun, explore more of my island's treasures, and meet genuinely awesome people without falling into consumerism. This made me realize I can move around the world with little to my name, as long as I stick to this mentality and remember to enjoy the simple pleasures (and the occasional "Treat yo'self" activity or dinner out).
I honestly love making new friends, from all ages and backgrounds, I love sharing my culture, learning about others', eating, making people laugh, go clubbing as well as sketching in a park. I adapt, I look for the best of every situation, and I want to learn from the others as much as I can. There's no way to do so without moving from my couch onto others'.

Music, Movies, and Books
Shazam is my savior, I love collecting songs and sharing them as well so when it comes to music I always have an open ear. That being said, my preferred genres are R&B, hiphop, alternative rock (Spanish and English), bossanova, house and jazz.
In the rear occasions I want to see a movie I always go for my favorites (which I've watched like 100 times each).
What I Can Share with Hosts
I looove to dance so I can teach salsa, merengue, bachata, bellydance!
If you want me to cook Caribbean/ Puerto Rican food I'll have to call my family because I don't have any recipes up my sleeve. However, I bet we can manage to replicate something similar haha At least I know how the dishes should taste like.
Great conversations in Spanish, English or in my beat up French that I like to think sounds very legit.
I make the weirdest questions but it's just because I am so genuinely curious about other people's stories and experiences, you never know what you could learn! I'm open to sharing my own as well.
