Hello! My name is Darex. I’m originally from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 (born and raised) but currently living in the United States. I’m a scientist who loves adventure sports/activities such as skiing and rollerblading. I love learning about different cultures, foods, traditions, and different points of view. Coucsurfing has allowed me to meet people from different countries, backgrounds, and generations while learning and appreciating their lifestyles and mindsets.
