About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the best human being as possible and learn something new everyday

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in México until the end of July at the very least on a Fulbright scholarship. I am working at an airline and currently taking classes for my MBA. I like to throw dinner parties, go out to the bar or club sometimes, see museums, go to the beach, do yoga, play basketball, watch luchas and partidos de futbol, take pictures, travel, hike, camp, visit historical sites, and hang out and get lost in the city.

I am straightforward, hard-working, confident, outgoing, and loves to observe and learn about other people. I love to try new things, especially when it comes to food. I've tried: alligator, ostrich, rattle snake, crickets, cactus jelly, bison, deer, elk, foie gras, jellyfish, and more! I love to cook because it relieves my stress if I have any. If we hang out, I'll make you some filipino, chinese, hawaiian, japanese, italian, or american food.

Hablo español casi perfectamente. Trabajo para una empresa mexicana y viví en Puebla hace 2 años. Podemos hablar inglés o español, lo que quieres. A huevo! Vientos!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason and everyone you meet is supposed to teach you something. Always ask yourself, "If I don't do it, will I regret it?" and you'll take more risks and learn more about yourself.

Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love. In a quite absolute, final way, what you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hoping to surf soon when I get some time to travel again, but for now I would love to meet some people to show me around DF.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couchsurfed, but I would like to. I'm pretty new to this and I'm hoping to meet some new people here in DF.

Interests

The way someone talks, a sense of humor, and the way one carries themselves really grabs my attention. I also really enjoy just people watching and having a good conversation. Food, however, is the fastest way to get on my good side. I love food from all over the world and a really good local dish is really how I define the country or city. I spend my time with friends and family, traveling, cooking, watching tv, listening to music, eating, and dancing.

Teach, Learn, Share
