CURRENT MISSION

Socially conscious, party in a box

ABOUT ME

I was born in Venezuela, moved to the States when I was 10, and have been here ever since (except for when I'm not). I love food, dancing, culture, rugby, friends, drinks, adventures, traveling, etc, etc, etc. In the professional sphere, I'm a very devoted to international community development, with a particular emphasis on microfinance. I like to think I'm open minded, a party in a box, and bordering on annoyingly liberal.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel a particularly strong imperative to foster the kind of change that puts lesser-developed communities at the forefront of development, through it building a more equitable global society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was part a lot of absurdly fun meet ups and traveling adventures when I was living in Cochabamba, and now that i am back in San Francisco, I am definitely willing to show other CSers around. I am a particular connoisseur of the Mission and Castro if you are interested :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to a few Cocha Couch Surfing meet ups that have been really fun, and have also been able to meet a few travelers passing through!

Interests
