CURRENT MISSION

I just rode across America on my bicycle from Florida to California to raise awareness about Tourette's Syndrome back in January 2015. Now I'm coming back, by car, to move to San Jose where I start graduate school.

ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year old that just graduated university back in December 2014 with a degree in Geography. I was born and raised in Port Saint Lucie, Fl in a family of five. My passion lies in urban planning which is what I aim to pursue in graduate study. I aim to make more places bicycle-friendly and walkable. I hope that by visiting more places I can get a better understanding of what makes them unique and "click". This in turn will help improve my planning skills.

PHILOSOPHY

Apologize for nothing and meet your needs first. Once they are met, you can help others to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm now a guest, and will host once I find a place to live in California. But I'm on here simply to meet new people and get a glimpse into the life of a native/local.

Interests

Aside from cycling, I'm big into the outdoors, especially hiking. Other interests include drawing, cartography and cooking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked across America from Jacksonville Beach, Florida to Ventura, California. It is the single most amazing thing I have ever done. The people I met using this site and Warmshowers made it all the more enjoyable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my stories of biking across the U.S. I can also share my personal philosophies and civil rants!
