Born in New York and grew up in Connecticut. Currently reside in North Carolina. My family is Colombian, I was the first to be born in America. Graduated from Appalachian State University with a major in Exercise Science. Hoping to pursue career in Physical Therapy. I am courteous and gentlemanly whenever possible, I love meeting new people, I clean up after myself. I am generally in good health and I enjoy sports and outdoor activities as well as relaxing indoor activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I want to experience the culture of a new place that I can hopefully move to very soon. However, I need to save as much money possible for the move and I heard I can find friendly people who will welcome me to their homes and possibly spend some time/show me around the city on this site. It will benefit more to stay with a local that can show me around than a hotel.
