ABOUT ME
Once upon a time, I thought I was a world traveler. Slowly, I realized that I have not even seen a quarter of the world.
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and had the opportunity to live in Pennsylvania and New York. I enjoy graphic design, photography, art, music, mixed martial arts, going to the beach, etc. I like a lot of things :-P
I like to hang out...I'm more of a sit at a bar and have a few drinks so that we can chill and talk, rather than "like, omg lets go like, clubbing! xoxo".
Currently, I'm a freelance graphic designer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For now, I'm willing to meet up for some drinks, coffee optional (not big on coffee, sorry), and play tour guide for a couple of days. I hope to finally be able to offer up my couch someday.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
ABout two years ago, I went to my first local CS meet up. I was nervous as to how this community of old timers were going to take me in. They were all so welcoming and accepting. I can say I never felt left out of any conversation.
I also had the opportunity to be hosted in Jamaica...but, it kinda doesn't count, cause I stayed with a friend :P we did meet another CS-er, ad we had a blast with him. He was a good sport, and joined us during our stay in Negril.
I've yet to had a full CS experience (as in....hosting and surfing). I'll update in due time :)
