About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet more couchsurfers!

ABOUT ME

I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer currently working at Morgan Stanley.

I love to dance and listen to music. I like several different types of music, but my favorites right now are R&B, bachata, reggaeton, reggae, samba.

I really like meeting new people and learning their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

If I can find a way to make the world a better place, then I should try. I try to be kind and polite to people, keep an open mind, be honest, and be the best person I can be. I keep my goals in mind, but I don't take myself or anything too seriously.

I love my family, my friends, dancing, and life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I hope to host surfers soon and surf myself when I go on vacation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had two couchsurfers in Danli recently. They were two fun guys: Andre from Sao Paulo and Tyler from California. We had a good time hanging out and browsing the various venders left over from the Maiz Festival. For everyone's gastronimical delights Andre made spaghetti and Tyler made stove-cooked popcorn. It was a great first time couch surfing experience.

Interests

I have many different interests, so here are just a few:

Dancing bachata, merengue, salsa, samba, reggae, hip hop, forro. Yoga. Traveling. Music. Languages. Action movies. Foreign films. Working with youth. Development. Lemonade. Ice Cream. Different Cultures. Nutrition. Non-fiction books.
