Solo traveler since 2007. I’ve lost count of the countries I’ve visited but I’ve lived in 6 across the globe: USA, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Spain, UAE. I have a tendency of bumping into people that I’ve met from around the world whenever I’m in a new city so we’ve probably met before! Love running, cycling, brewing beer, mezcal, making music (I have a violin and a guitar at my place), philosophy, new connections, and art in all its forms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a Hispanic and Indian family. We love taking care of people. You are always welcome with me! I’ve made some of my best friends while on the road by myself, so I’m forever grateful and eager to pay it forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bringing people together in the kitchen is where I’m happiest. Making dinner with a local family in Kendwa, Zanzibar is a favorite memory. What’s your favorite cooking experience?
