******About your host*****
I'm Alex an urban artist/Uber driver living in Puerto Rico.
For the last 16 years I have travel the world staying in nice hotels, pensions, dormitories, students hostel, you name it. I've been around and had many good experiences.
I would like to create an accommodation where travelers could enjoy the privacy of their own space and still get to interact with a host, other travelers, the location and of course the good price that they'll get for their room.
Now that I'm finally back home I'm working on it and that's why I'm here at workaway. I'm renovating the house where I grew up to transform it in a colorful, good vibe, warm library/guesthouse. The books that my mom, my sister, my uncle and I have collected over the years are gonna be available for the workaways and the guest.
