I am a young engineering & entrepreneurial professional in the U.S. I am analytic in nature but also curious about everything, hence my delineation into culture studies, art and architecture while I was living in Barcelona!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing so that I can really see how real people live. Hotels are boring!!! (even though I admit I love those tiny soaps) People are crazy, fun, interesting, wacky sometimes and generally AWESOME! I want to meet the people of the world!

Interests

Cooking, reading, hanging out with my dog Spunkie (he's the one in the picture) and making new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...... life in color anyone? I love all kinds of House, Electronic, DubStep, ChillStep, Jazz, Classic Mexican Rancheritas (Pedro Infante) Indie music all kinds of stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Welded a door stopper together that looks like a Scottish Terrier Dog. It's amazing. When I see that metal dog standing by the door when I get home, I always feel welcomed, then I open my door and my real dog is there as well!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach everyone and anyone that every person in this world can do anything!

I want to continue my Spanish skills and my ultimate language goal is to be able to say: Please, Thank You, Another Beer, Friends , and Where is the bathroom? in as many languages as possible! I also want to travel the world and learn a new recipe from every corner of the world! I adore Indian style cuisine, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, all kinds of yummy stuff that's just the way mom and grandma used to make it. (No take out for me please)

I want to share my life story and my (Mexican) cooking with anyone and everyone (including vegetarians, Vegans we can work on it)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dear future hosts,

You buy the ingredients, I make the food. You keep the leftovers (if there's any)
Specialties:
Anything Mexican (although cochinita pibil takes a while)
Some Puerto Rican foods- plantains, pollo rotisado
Paella
Cheese stuffed Manicotti Shells
Lasagna vegetable and meated
Classic southern American style cuisine (S.o.S., fried chicken, biscuits gravy)
All with accompanying sides!

And trust me much more! I should have went to culinary school, not engineering school!
