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.

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.

I have a dog named Mila, she’s still a puppy.

I don’t host groups or couples, or anyone for more than a couple of nights. If I were with a lover, I’d get a hotel room. Believe me it’s more romantic.

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
