SOBRE MÍ

Creative Director, traveler, and musician (vocalist rock band)

I have traveled through South America, Europe, and part of Central America for 4 years using Couchsurfing. I am cheerful and easygoing, with many stories and smiles to share. I enjoy hosting in my house, to me, we are all like brothers and sisters in a wonderful community where lifelong friendships are created.

I love movies, cooking, sharing stories, and walking while learning or teaching about cities and cultures. I enjoy going dancing, going to concerts, watching local movies, climbing mountains, or going to karaoke, spending time together, and experiencing unforgettable moments with the people around me.
