About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've never done this! I don't know what to expect or what my mission is. I'm just opening trying to open my world to new things and new people. This seems like the perfect way!

ABOUT ME

I'm the accountant that isn't really an accountant lol. I'm very open-minded and like to go out and experience new things. That's how I ended up here! Very laid back. I'm Venezuelan and Arabic so I can be loud at times. I'm one of 7 kids so I think I know how to adapt and get along with others. I curse, but I'll ease into it around new people lol. Always down for a beer and lounging out when possible. I'm learning Italian and hope to couch surf in Italy this Fall!

PHILOSOPHY

I have a tattoo of 3 intertwined triangles that represent 3 values that my Fraternity taught me; love (self-explanatory), charity (look at the good in people, not the bad), and esteem (be respectful to the convictions of others). I live by this everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't participated yet since I'm brand new but I'm caught up in the whole concept and hope to surf/host soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started on the site because I found a cheap flight to New Orleans and needed a place to crash. It was so last minute that I couldn't find a host =/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'M GOING SKYDIVING ON APRIL 19TH, 2015!

I jumped off of a 50ft cliff in Jamaica and bruised my pectoral muscle when I hit the water :)

I've seen the Chicago skyline by standing 4 feet outside of the Willis tower on their Skydeck 1,400ft in the air. It was beautiful and fucking scary! lol

I just came back from Puerto Rico and I hiked all the way to the top of El Yunque National Rainforest! About 4,000 feet high and it was absolutely breathtaking!

Jamaica, Puerto Rico, United States, Venezuela
