CURRENT MISSION

My current mission??? MMMM... to be a good human being!!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Puerto Rico and came to the U.S. in 1976. In 1978 I joined the Army as a paratrooper, got injured and left to come to New York. I worked as an actor for almost 20 years. I lived in Germany in 1979 while in the military and went back in 1993 with my girlfriend at the time and remained there for four years. I have traveled to every Centro american country in 1999. I've been to Alaska in 1978 for three months with the Army. I know Europe quite well. I work for a small (off,off)Broadway Theater in Manhattan. The arts and Literature are a way of life for me. I love to go hiking and to climb mountains and volcanoes. I love to have interesting people around me. If you don't have much to say, I think we have nothing in common; for I learn from people every day until I die.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not religious, rather spiritual in nature. I pray to God every morning for peace and understanding in this trouble and insecure world. I believe in always looking for the good in people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved to Volcancito, in Boquete, Panama since February. I rent a two room house in a quite area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a lot of help from strangers while traveling in Centroamerica, that's what made me want to help others in need of a place to stay, and share the beautiful things in life. I rather light a candle than curse the darkness!!!

Interests

Literature; Hiking, camping, traveling around the world until my last days on earth. I'm very concern about mother earth.
