I was born and raised in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and I love to travel. I'm living in Istanbul now!

I like to learn new things, meet new people, challenge myself, be a friend to the environment, and live as fulfilling a life as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far, I have met so many great people who have changed the way I look at life...all while becoming great friends!

Interests

I'm into big cities and how people and cultures evolve in them. I like good food, street art, learning languages, watching a good movie, barhopping cheap bars with good live music, sharing travel adventures, meeting new people, discovering little-known places, and philosophizing about whatever needs philosophizing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know anymore now. I watched all of Netflix during the pandemic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been mind-fucked several times...and I love it.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, these are some things that I've only been able to understand through travelling and meeting people:
1. Planning the details of a trip is great, but not planning them allows for even more amazing things to happen.
2. It's awesome to travel with friends, but I've had the best time of my life travelling alone and meeting people along the way.
3. Travelling is the best way to break stereotypes and overcome fears; learn languages, geography, and history; get bargaining skills; be less materialistic...it helps you live in the present rather than in the past or in the future!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lots of travel stories to share; I can help you with your Spanish or English; I can help you figure out your next travel destination; we can cook something sweet; we could even go into strategy consulting if you're into that...you freak.
