Hi, my name is Manuel and I am from Puerto Rico but I live in Barcelona. I’m an immigration attorney for the US. When I’m not busy with work I like to cook, go to the gym or play basketball. I’m really into films and mostly old books, usually about history and philosophy. My dream is to write my own books.

I’m in CS because I’ve met good people through it and even made cherished friends.

I like funny travel stories, so if you share yours I’ll share mine

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different walks of life.
