I’m an artist and architectural designer raised in an Ecuadorian household in the suburbs of New York (así que tambien hablo español).

I’ve had many opportunities to live and work in New York and Europe over the years, and I’ve extensively backpacked throughout my 20s, mostly solo.

Since I began traveling I discovered a great joy in creating drawings and designs of every place I would visit. This creative outlet has connected me with people from all over the world, leading to countless stories and experiences. Fortunately, I’ve been able to turn my passion into a business by running my own operations in New York City and online. ✍🏼

For a more detailed look into my travel and artwork journey, I share a lot of it on Instagram and on the web.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I appreciate the social and open-minded nature of the people I interact with on this platform or attend events hosted here.

2. While this platform can help me stay within my budget at times, it also provides incredible insights into experiencing a culture from the perspective of a host or local, which would be challenging to obtain otherwise.

3. I don’t use this platform as a dating app or a free hotel. If someone is kind enough to host me or hang out with me, I’m more than happy to share my space and time with them. I firmly believe that it’s important to respect the boundaries set by both parties.
