I was born and raised in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico), but I moved to the mainland US when I was 24 in search of higher education and work. Just left my corporate job as a weather forecaster in Massachusetts to pursue my dream of exploring Europe, and learn and teach multiple languages :)

Personally, I'm festive, friendly, curious, and an optimist. I'm super passionate about European languages, food, and culture. Love reading articles on political, economical, and historical subjects as well as some classic fiction (Agatha Christie, for example). Huge Arts lover, especially the impressionist, fauvist, and surrealist movements.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because there's no better way to immerse yourself in another country's culture and soul other than meeting its people and have real-life encounters and experiences with them.
I'm also an aspiring English language teacher and would love to teach you this on-demand and fascinating language 3hrs/day in exchange for a room.
