Hi friends! I have moved to Honolulu on the 29th of August and looking to make lasting friends and a host for 2-3 days while I find an apartment or roommates. I lived on Namahana St. back in 2009 and have since dreamed of moving back. I was an EMT in Baltimore City for the past 2 years and decided to pursue my career in Hawaii instead. I am also a personal trainer specializing in strength and balance exercises for Adults and seniors.

My parents are from Medellin, Colombia. I was born and raised in Miami, FL. I love to be near the ocean, I enjoy meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone. I love learning and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

Take Chances, Make Mistakes, Get Messy!

A positive mind, can rule all of man kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to become a part of my community and couch surfing is the best way to make friends that share my philosophy. I have attended several meet-ups in Miami and Baltimore, and have couch surfed in Basil, Switzerland and Bologna, Italy.

I am very considerate of your support, I clean up after myself , and always willing to lend a hand with a positive attitude.

I like classic rock, punk rock, Salsa, Reggae, lounge, chill/down tempo, bossa nova, EDM, Tupac, Expendables, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and anything else that makes my head bob back and forth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Booked a 1-way flight to Italy after college with no plans, a back pack, my resume, and $800 in my pocket. Within a few weeks I managed to find a job and an apartment in Arezzo and eventually learn Italian. Met wonderful people and learned so much in a short period of time. Greatest experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a surf/paddle board instructor in Miami Beach during my 4 years of college. I can teach you to surf :-)
I would love to cook delicious meals in return for your hospitality.
