I'm an accountant, pursuing my CPA license. My passion is traveling the world, cooking different cuisines, jogging around nature and meeting new people of various backgrounds. My favorite quote sums it up: "Promise yourself to always live a life you truly want to live." I am happy and grateful for what I have in life thanks to God! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler, I want to experience the culture to the fullest. I not only want to tour the city, try the food but also meet the locals. In order to learn and understand the culture, I really feel this can be accomplished by interacting with the locals. It's an exciting and unforgettable opportunity.

Interests

I love any outdoor activity, experimenting in the kitchen and exploring unique parts of the world.
I'm an animal lover and have a cute small/medium dog. Every chance I get, I sign petitions to stop animal abuse. We deserve to live in this planet as much as these creatures do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love jazz, musicals, merengue, salsa, pop and anything with a beat. My favorite movies are Casablanca, Midnight in Paris, all the James Bond movie, all the super hero movies (the Avengers, superman, etc.) and enjoy thrillers (the Shutter island).
A small list of books that can read over and over are: The Alchemist, The Richest Man in Babylon, The Four Agreements, the Mastery of Love, The Time Machine and The Adventures of Sherlock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped built a local church.
I traveled 5 continents as I am trying to check off my bucket list (2 more continents to go)!
I have a passed a part of the CPA (in the process of succeeding in the next 3 parts).
