About Me

I am 26 years old, I was born in Venezuela but lived most of my life in the US ( San Diego and Miami).

I played professional tennis (without too much success) before starting my University in 2007 (where I played collegiate tennis, this time successfully).

I am now living in Hamburg, Germany to start a Masters in Science in Economics.

I am a very open person, and would love the chance to meet new people and experience new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently moved to Germany to do a Masters in Economics, and I am very eager to learn more about what this great continent has to offer by meeting new people through Couch Surfing, and traveling.

Hosting: In July I'll be moving to Munich, and my door will be open to anyone who wants to stop by and get to know this amazing city.

Being Hosted: Before moving to Munich, I'm doing a month-long trip through Eastern Europe and I cannot think of a better way to learn more about each culture, and meet awesome people than using CS. (Also saving money is a big deal).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk your ear off about geopolitics in general, economics, and finance.
I also talk for days about sports, and partying.
I could teach how to cook one or two Venezuelan dishes.

I'll be sure to share a bottle of wine or a few beers during those conversations!
