25 year old Texan with south american roots. I currently work as an engineer for a Swiss bio-medical company focused on stem cells and hold a degree in mechanical engineering.
I'm clean and very respectful of anyone willing to offer hospitality. Looking for Laid back people to simply hang out and share experiences.
I'm highly curious and active. When work and time allows, I enjoy exercising, traveling, music, reading, writing and simply anything that allows me to be creative.
Lately I've been trying to learn more about video and video editing in order to combine music and full scenes that can make any sort of emotional impact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best friend and I are spending two weeks in Europe simply exploring and learning a bit more about the world.
We would like to meet locals as well as fellow travelers/explorers as to enrich our experience during a brief stay in Europe.
The cost is also an added bonus :)

Interests

Absolutely love the arts. Comedy, poetry, music, film and painting(rather new to this subject).
Some of my favorite comics are Louis CK, Hannibal Buress, George Carlin, Dave Chapelle and a few others
I've played music since i was a child and played in some bands as a teenager. I haven't recorded much lately but still like to get together with friends and play for fun.
I also rebuilt a motorcycle, rode it on a racetrack at over 160mph, crashed, and lived to tell about it haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough one to answer. I have a lot of respect for people who are involved in any environmental or humanitarian movement. Those are amazing things and I cant really say that I've contributed very much to either of those things....

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an experienced swim teacher and also use to swim competitively. Always willing to teach a few skills if anyone is interested.
I would like to learn French and improve my Spanish. Music is always something thats easy to share. Lets Jam!
