Hey 👋, my name is Daniel. I am originally from Raleigh, NC and have lived in a few spots since then (NY, Chile, Nicaragua, Colombia).

I love traveling and experiencing the vast beauty between varying cultures and places. I enjoy coffee, yoga, biking, exploring, volunteering, music, dancing, hiking, yoga, meditation, good conversation, and holistic health.

💉Vaccinated

I am fairly chill and I really enjoy to be at the beach/outside. I am a very open person and want to learn about other people. I respect people from all backgrounds and make it an intention to be inclusive when interacting with the world. I work to enjoy each movement as it is and to flow with life as it comes.

Not into social media too much, not into hard drinking . I am into food music or a evening with a cool spot or nice dinner. I am trying to enjoy cooking more as well.

I love doing projects with my hands, I like hard work.

Hablo español.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m a naturally curious person who loves to meet people from all around the world. I love meeting and sharing with people in our truest existence. I have used Couchsurfing and I know how helpful it can be when you are in a tough spot. I want to return the favor.
