About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible, enjoy the simple things in life.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Miami and I've been living in the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen) for 4 years. Looking to meet other couch surfers, have met a few already. I love music, movies and traveling. Looking to meet easy going people with some shared interests. I like discovering cool bars, restaurants, lounges, etc...I love concerts and hope to discover some local bands in the RGV. I love to run. Just moved to a new house with my girlfriend in North McAllen, couch or extra bed available for couch surfers if I'm able to host, my work schedule can be a bit tough to schedule around.

PHILOSOPHY

Every man dies, not every man really lives.

Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things.
