****We live 20 minutes away from the City center using a car****

We travel in the Summer for weeks, so we don't host during that time. Depending on when we return, we'll start accepting guests.

We do not accept guests that have been on CS for quite some time and have never hosted. Also, if your response rate is non existent or very low, that says a lot about you and therefore don't bother requesting. We also love to give references since it helps when traveling, so if we host you, please leave a reference.

I am a fun, nice person. I live life to the fullest and enjoy learning. I have a 25 year old son and he has been my greatest gift. I am in a happy relationship with my husband, Orly. I love to travel and meet people. My husband and I are adventurous and want to see the world together. ***FYI, my husband, Orly Velez, which is also on Couch Surfing, has references from couch surfers. We share this site ***

We have a dog and he is 3 years old. His name is Astro. He's nice and loves people. He gets a little too excited when you first meet him. If you are staying with us, you will have to be careful when you enter and leave the house, because my dog will want to run out the door.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people and learning from them. I also like to share my experiences with people. I love to travel and couch surfing is by far a great opportunity to be able to see the world. We host people at our house because we like to help people out, too. We have met wonderful people while hosting and traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music, I love to read and love to relax and watch movies after a long week of work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sky diving with my husband for my birthday. I jumped off a high, cold waterfall in Jamaica with my son and trekked the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas. Amazing experience! I did the Salkantay Trek to get to Machu Picchu. I trekked the Camino de Santiago. I hiked Trolltunga and took a picture on the Troll's Tongue.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love working out and running! I enjoy going to the gym when I get a chance. I was a Zumba instructor for 7 years. I love to dance and choreograph. I love to learn and share ideas with others. Family and friend time is very important to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer guests a nice, private room with a queen size bed and a (sharable) clean restroom, a kitchen, washer and dryer, patio to hang out outside, grill, living room with a TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioned house, and quality time with guests to talk. I can cook for you but it depends on my availability. We get busy a lot during the week, but we enjoy spending time with our guests at night once we're relaxing after a long day of work.
