CURRENT MISSION

Make every day meaningful

ABOUT ME

I'm an undergraduate anthropology major at the University of Florida. I was born and raised in Florida, USA. My background is Cuban and Colombian. I love learning about different cultures because I think its the key to becoming more open-minded and a better person. I get along with people easily and I'm open to new experiences and adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in continuously learning from and studying people (their history, culture, and beliefs) to realize a common humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couch-surfed or hosted anyone couchsurfers so I'm new to all of this. I've met a lot of couch surfers though and have been to some of the gatherings and I'm excited to gain more couch-surfing experience!
