¡Hola!

I grew up in Puerto Rico near beaches, rainforests and mountains. My Abuelo (grandfather) taught me early on in life the importance of appreciating and connecting with nature. He also is a very social being such as myself and always encouraged me to have conversations with people from all walks of life.

I grew up very passionate about dance, music, theatre, and film. I started singing and dancing at 3 years old and to this date I believe those two things make life much more wonderful.

Throughout my life I was fortunate enough to travel thanks to my parents' resources. They took me and my sister to Italy, Spain, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and various states across the U.S. I quickly fell in love with traveling and the experience of meeting new people in different cultures from my own.

During my time in college I lived in Italy for 3 months as my study abroad and I seriously think about that experience every day. It was wonderful.

Currently (Updated: 10/17/18)
I am currently taking acting classes in Los Angeles, California. I have been here since August 2018 and will be leaving November 2018!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here because I think the concept of Couchsurfing promotes a huge aspect of what I love about traveling itself. Making connections, making friendships. What else are we on this earth for other than to connect with other human beings?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-produced and starred in a full-length play when I was 21 years old. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, or English. Hmmm, maybe I can teach you some acting techniques? Hahaha, I don't know what other skill I can teach yet.

I'd love to continue learning Italian and French!

Sometimes I feel as though there is so much that interests me! There is not enough time in life to learn all of the things I'd like to.
