About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hope to meet some of you on the way...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, live it right the first time around, cause you don't get a second chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted dozens of people in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. It's a great way to meet other people when you dont have time to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There have been so many, I have no idea where to start. But throughout all my experience I have made and retained friendship with people throughout the world. It's GREAT!

Interests

Photography, Traveling, Diving, Internet, Computers, Swimming, Biking. Anything to do with the ocean. Meeting new and interesting people. I also love to sail. So if you gotta boat and need a crew, let me know :-)
