CURRENT MISSION

I am a scientist working on getting my Master's in marine science at San Francisco State University. The Pacific Northwest has been a region that has been calling out to me for a long time. My significant other and I are planning a road trip up to Seattle and Portland in order to expand our experiences on this beautiful coast.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in sunny Puerto Rico, which is how I came to love the ocean, coasts and aquatic environments that provide so many services to humanity. My family is from CA so I pursued an education in oceanography and marine science in Monterey, Humboldt and now SF. Road trips and other modes of travel excluding flying are the best ways that I can experience new places and the lands that separate them. When time permits, the best way would be using the back roads that let one stop and enjoy the scenery.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy each moment and don't be a hindrance to another's happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet the locals of new places that share similar desires and qualities of myself and my world views.

Interests

Just got a used longboard to begin my new surfing hobby. I like hiking new trails and camping under the stars with friends.
